YUM!!! I just finished making it, and it was super easy. It's so light and delicious. I made mine in a bundt pan and gressing the pan was perfect cause it slipped out super easily. I know I'm serving this to guests later but I really just wanna sit alone with a slice of this cake and a cup of coffee.

the flavours of the cake are intense and unique and the recipe was easy to follow and I achieved good results at my first try and I love that the cake is dairy and practically oil free which means it's as light as a feather. Highly recommend you try this recipe. -
This was exceedingly simple to make, and it tastes great. I cooked it in a fan forced oven at 170C and it only took 25 minutes. Not a sweet cake (as expected), but would be great with a cup of tea as suggested.
