recipe was pretty short and written in some gaps. Rewrote her on detailed and clear (hopefully) with quantities as we've made. Toast remove the bit stuffing because overflowed, but now with the specified quantities of dough should be well. The result is very good, tart lemon flavor is strong. We are pleased and again we made the cake.
