This creation kit is a firm favourite in my household!
What a delicious bake that never ceases to impress the taste buds of anyone who has a bite. The best results I've found are with the use of Rama margarine and Clover milk. Other brands do work well but that desirable "I want another slice and another. .." effect is only achieved when I pair these brands to bake this particular creation.

A historic firm favorite, moist, rich, not overly sweet, VERY WELL BALANCED, quality product, have been a fan for years, I must admit there's a new kid on the block and it is getting my firm favorite a run for it's money. A full 5 stars as this batter still holds its own very well. Hint GC
Awesome!
I tried this one out a week ago. Now, I should add that I was trying out my oven with this as a first cake attempt (its only slightly bigger than a sandwich oven). Because of an experience with burnt biscuits, I adjusted the heating down to 150 and put the cake on the top rack with the bottom element on. I also did a small adjustment to the icing (added an ingredient). My family was delighted with the results, it was a great-tasting cake with a good texture, which was firm but not overly moist. Thanks Snowflake!
