| Is that 1/2 cup sherry or 1 cup? This sounds really tasty. |
|
| Well, it is supposed to be 1/2 c but..........yes, it is. RL |
|
| Roselin, I am always looking for new cake recipes so I'll certainly will give this one a try. Do you use sweet or dry sherry, or does it matter? |
|
| I use the dry because that is what I always have on hand. If you like to drink sherry, sometime try Shooting Sherry. A Brit friend introduced me to that and I really like it. Have trouble finding it here sometimes but a couple of the liquor stores carry it. RL |
|
| Is that cooking sherry, like holland hall, or do I get it at a liquor store? |
|
| Bridget, I buy mine at the liquor store. The cooking sherry has too much salt in it. RL` |
