    Very good! Maybe a bit too sweet for my taste, with the honey and brown sugar, but I will make it again, I loved it! I will also try it with a scoop of ice cream!

    Easy to make and the result is stunning. I didn't have any nuts or brown sugar (replaced with cane sugar), and it works very well too.

    Simply... delicious!! I made it for a taste week and it was a real success, everyone asked me for the recipe!! I just didn't add any nuts as I didn't have any, but otherwise, I didn't change anything!! I'm making this recipe again in muffin molds for guests tomorrow, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!!

    very good very good recipe, I thought the cake would be dry given the preparation, but not at all, it is moist just the way it should be! My suggestion: I replaced the nuts with pecans and I couldn't help but make a chocolate glaze!

    The best Very easy to make. My 4-year-old daughter helped me and had a lot of fun. The result was excellent, very good, and I’m not particularly a good cook.
