    The cake is currently in the oven, and I realised I accidentally forgot the salt. After reading these comments, I am so glad I did! I also greased my tin because why otherwise 😅

    I made this cake and it looked amazing and spongy and I was so proud, until i tasted it...The salt ! I was surprised when I saw there was a whole dinner spoon of salt in the recipe, I only put 1 small spoon and the cake was inedible.!! Ps use a pinch of salt for this recipe NOT a dinnerspoon!

    Could someone tell me if the Salt is necessary. That sounds like an awful lot of salt?
