Having tried the chocolate cake last week, this week's own wasn't too difficult for me , though turning the ingredients to get my desired mixtures gave me some time and I rested a little bit and continued .
When I was done baking ,I discovered that my food colouring didn't give me the exact color. Maybe I bought the wrong color but the taste is giving 100/100 .
