  1. This recipe is so easy and delicious. I made it together with my 10 year old who is often annoyed with my desire to spend quality time with her The only question I have is that our glaze is definitely brown and grainy, per the brown swerve, so I’m wondering how you got such a lovely smooth white? Thanks so much for sharing!

    • Hello, Chelsea. We made a typo when posting the recipe. It should have been “confectioners swerve.” I don’t know why that happened. They will both taste the same but not look the same or be grainy. So sorry, we’ve gone in and fixed it.

  2. Very moist and delicious! I doubled the frosting recipe and I added an extra egg for the cake. I had small fresh chicken eggs so I added one more. It turned out wonderful! Thanks for this recipe!

  3. Can I not use butter etc to line the pan instead of parchment paper?

    Full confession, I am not one who really ever bakes. 🙂

    • Hi Tyrone,

      I find it is always best to use parchment knowing that the cake won’t stick to it, than to just grease the pan and have a potential disaster when you try to get it out of the pan. It also helps in the washing up department – less scrubbing required!

      I hope that helps and happy baking!
