    This recipe was quite successful; however, I used half the amount of sugar compared to the amount of flour. 75 g seemed insufficient to me.

    Excellent the montecaos It's one of my favorite cakes. It's quick to make. I could add that it's better the next day when they have slightly hardened. A true delight.
