Notes
- If you don’t have a blend tec blender that can make fresh whipped cream you can use a stand or hand held mixture and whisk everything until you have stiff peaks. I have used my blend tec and ninja bullet in the past to make fresh whipped cream.
- Turn this cake into cupcakes, simply fill each cupcake liner with batter and bake for 15-20 mins until center is fully cooked (check with toothpick or sharp knife). Poke holes with toothpick or fork and add 1 tbsp or more of the milk mixture.
