  16. Insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake, and if it comes out clean that means it done.
  17. Remove from the oven and set aside to completely cool down about 30 minutes.

    I forgot to take the final picture before cutting, my kids couldn't wait any longer, so I was rushing and forgot to take the final picture before I sliced the cake. I will try and update the post when I make another one.

  18. Slice up and serve with ice cream and drizzle some honey over it.
  19. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Note: 

 If you don't have cake flour you substitute.... For every one cup of regular cup of flour measure out 2 tablespoons of flour and replace with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
