Beautifully moist and yummy. A friend at work gave me this recipe. I hope you will be able to understand this recipe as it is in metric and I don't know how to convert to imperial measurements. I have not made this recipe myself as yet as I only received two days ago after my friend made it for us all at work. Since sending this recipe in I have mad the cake and it is so easy to make and it is so yummy and moist. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
