Also, the one thing I don’t like about premade seasoning blends is they typically are loaded with salt. Additionally, you can usually make it cheaper and with better quality ingredients at home. For me, better quality means organic.

Followed the very thoroughly written directions and my cake turned out perfect. The user comments were also helpful-don’t over bake this or it will be dry. I removed the cake 5 minutes short of suggested cooking time. Tried a slice toasted in the toaster with butter and jam and it was delicious. Such an effecient way to use leftover yolks!
