  8. My son chose to the study Czech Republic for grade school social studies. One of their end projects was to bake something from the region(making learning fun!) to share with the class. He picked this one and we made it together. Delicious!! We will definitely make it again. Thank you for sharing!

  9. Can you use orange instead?

    1. It will be definitely sweeter, but should work.

  10. Hello this cake has an amazing taste and texture for the most part. However, I am cooking with
    gas fan oven therefore according to the advice I read online (another site) is that I should reduce the temperature of the oven from 150 degree to 130 degrees. However, I found that my cake needed much longer cooking time and it still wasn’t done perfectly on the centre. I check with a pin and it was done and removed it and found later a slight band where it hadn’t cooked fully. Which type of oven were you using?

    1. I don’t use the fan, just regular heating up and down. Yes 130 is way too little. Would need more time to cook properly. I noticed in CZ in the same style oven, but smaller it took longer than in USA. So it is about testing out your oven and how fast it bakes.
