Brilliant! I will try your suggestions next time around... reducing the beating to one minute after each addition and making sure the oven is up to temp. I also like knowing how to check my leavener - great idea. On another note, as I mentioned previously, I am not able to always find KAF products. Is there a substitution I should make for the cake flour? Can I use all - purpose? Thanks again for always being so awesome! Joeleen Can't wait to try trial #2:) Hi Joeleen, Glad to hear you are having fun with the recipe. If you can't get cake flour, in a pinch you can use this substitution: Place 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in your 1 cup measure. Sprinkle in the AP until the cup is full, then level off. The cornstarch will help reduce the protein level and make the cake tender. Hope it helps! ~ MaryJane
