[@karminiparsan9256]

Great Shaun👌👌 I prefer cinnamon to tonka bean though..also a 3" deep pan is preferable to avoid the side browning too much and drying out. Perfect with some ice cream😊

Thank you for this. Is the tonka bean 100% necessary or can it be omitted?

[@dennise8778]

It can be omitted! Cinnamon can be used instead.

I tried this recipe, only sub was normal flour sifted twice instead of cake flour. It came out dense. I did find the batter runny but i knew i followed all instructions. It was a flop for me. Sorry

[@sandramohammed824]

HELLO, HOW MUCH IS THE EVAPORATED MILK, IN CUPS MEASUREMENTS PLEASE, THANKS ...

[@nerviceniles2272]

One Cup is 8flo ounce, therefore 9flo ounce is a little more than a Cup.
