I made these into cupcakes today so 22 min in my convection oven at 350 was perfect! These are so tasty and I love the texture!! No sinking middles either!! Wonderful citrus flavor!!
Yes, love when a cake recipe turns into wonderful muffins!
Hi! any ideas how to substitute eggs?
Egg replacement would be the only option for this cake.
