My Mum always had good hands in the kitchen and this cake is an “oeuvre d’art”!
I like to adapt recipes to my taste so, I changed the frosting recipe to salted caramel frosting to make a balance between sweet and sour! The cake has the right amount of spices and it’s super moist!
If you ever try this recipe please, don’t forget to share!
