I made this cake and it was very soft and easy to bake but I don't suggest adding the almond extract as it has a VERY pungent taste and smell. all I could taste in the cake was the almond extract even though I didn't add much. the frosting was nice but it kinda 'broke' or split I guess cuz there was liquid dripping off the cake after I frosted it. I think that was biz I added coconut milk to the whipping cream way too soon(it doesn't say that in the recipe but I had no coconut extract). but great recipe

I made this yesterday and it was a massive hit Everyone loved it. For anyone wondering, the cake can be done the day before serving. I made it yesterday afternoon for this morning and it was perfectly fine in the fridge overnight. Also there is no butter/oil in the cake batter but it is still very moist and really nice.

I want to say thank you. This cake is not easy, but I decided to make it anyway, I prayed before cutting it into layers, I did one layer, that was more than enough, and I succeeded. After I was done, my husband and my kids, even the one that doesnt care for dessert, said that it was really good. So again, thank you so much.

Because the frosting is very delicate you must keep this cake very cold If you are taking it somewhere, like a dessert for a dinner party etc, freeze it for a little bit before hand so the icing doesn't melt along the way, and be sure to refrigerate it until ready to serve; )

Actually it was quite easy to make, however my almond extract was green, so the cake turned out to be light green: ) and if you dont decorate it raffaello truffles then it wont be so expensive
