This recipe is for the home baker and not for commercial purposes, hence, no preservatives. It should last for about 3 days on the countertop and about 2 more days in the fridge.

Thanks madam for sharing. In this recipe, u used icing sugar. In some other blogs i read that using icing sugar to bake hardens d cake. Pls what’s ur take on this? Although, I ve never used it to find out if it’s true or not. God bless
My answer is Yes! Icing sugar does harden cakes because of the cornstarch in it but this particular Cake is not a soft cake(it’s not rock hard either), that is why Icing sugar was used.If you are planning to make a soft tender cake, do not use Icing sugar unless specified.

Your recipes are great. But am confused a little about the milk for the Queens cake. Is it a powdered milk or a liquid milk that can be used?
I used fresh Milk form the store but you can use powdered Milk if you don’t have access to fresh Milk. To achieve the equivalent of the fresh Milk I used, for every Cup of Milk, simply mix 1/4 cup of powdered Milk with 1 Cup of Water. Let me know if that helps.

Good Day,
I love ur recipes, what type of vanilla do u use and where can I get it from.
Hi Joy sorry for the late response, I actually thought I had replied you. I used pure vanilla extract and you can use any good brand you can find. I hope that helps?
