My husband’s sister makes one every year for him. I can’t eat it; it’s just too dry. What makes a cake moist? It’s a good cake, just too dry! Baking S.O.S. says: Thanks for this very intriguing question, Julie, and just in […] Erica asks: I would like to make blueberry muffin batter ahead and then just pour into muffin tins & bake Christmas morning.
