I’d be a liar if I did not admit that this is one of my favorite cakes. Rich, tasty and super moist, this cake needs the finest ingredients to turn out just perfect.
I learned this delicious recipe from a grandma’s friend, I just added chocolate chips to taste even better.
Because of its moist texture, it can be stored in an airtight container for a week without becoming dry.
Buon Appetito!!!
