Bake a cake : V3 and success !!

Success !! Finally something that I made turned out to be edible. And to give credit where it's due, I dedicate this success to my consultant in AZ, USA :-)

Cut the proportions in the recipe by half and the cake turned out perfect. Beautifully browned on outside, soft on inside and tastes good too. What more do you want from a cake ? Unfortunately I don't have my digital camera with me, so I cannot upload a photo . It's a thing of beauty, trust me !!

And the modified recipe , reproduced with NO permission taken from the original author whatsoever ;-)
