Finally I did, this morning :)
This cake, if you love honey like me, is really delicious, with perfect texture I like - soft and moist! Another yummy choice for tea time snack!
My kids are very difficult to please, FYI. Many times I made something I was really sure they will like, and to my disappointment, they didn't touch it at all after their trial bite
I have a short list of what they like, and judging from the list, I was so sure they wouldn't touch this cake, either
I was wrong
