- I have been using another white cake recipe for 2 years and like it very much but sometimes for tiered cake, it is not as sturdy as I would like it to be. So trying out a new recipe. I will confirm my final verdict on it after soaking it liberally next time. I like my cakes to be super moist with melt in the mouth texture. So I will make one more attempt with the max soaking a cake can take and will then decide if it’s a keeper or no. Nevertheless the recipe is good and gave a great cake.
