These cakes were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would have preferred a lighter texture.

I didn't have any praline sauce on hand, so I served the cakes with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. It was still delicious.

I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and it gave the cakes a lovely warm flavor.

I made these cakes gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out great!
