I added a simple teaspoon of old style whole grain dijon mustard...made all the difference in the world. No more overpowering soysauce taste, but a rich hearty thanksgiving flavor :D The next day I also added some pan cooked pealed potatoes and some candied sauteed onions, omg delicious!

Absolutely AWESOME! I accidentally put twice the amount of condensed milk, and it was yummy and sweet even still! Must say that my accident kind of drown out the avodaco flavor, but it was of course still just a sweet and tart pie. Absolutely delicious!

So, although born and raised in Los Angeles, I live in Rome, Italy. And somehow came to this country without a measuring cup, etc. None the less, a little of this and that was actually able to make this unbelievable cake for a colleagues birthday at my Piazza Navona restaurant. I even got compliments to the extent of, "We should totally st6art serving this at the restaurant!" I thought it would be a disaster, but it was absolutely delicious! You could definately taste the champagne. I was weary of the comment below saying that it would taste like bread, so to add vanilla. I only added a few sprinles of vanilla sugar and it came out just amazingly! I highly reccomend this cake to all. This was the 1st cake I ever made, and it was a HIT!
