This was the first birthday cake I have ever made. Although the recipe hadn’t seemed to be difficult, I had some little problems. I overcame them and made the cake look and taste very well.
The list of ingredients is quite long. You have to prepare the cake a day before serving. It needs to be kept in a refrigerator through the night.
