A lady I know told me that since I was an accomplished baker I should make a "Brownstone" cake so I found this recipe and made it.The cake batter was dry when I finished it according to the recipe so I added sour cream which improved that and I think that the cake part tastes ok but the icing tastes like sugar water and even though I made it exactly as directed and used a candy thermometer it is still runny and not very appealing.It was a very difficult and time consuming recipe(with insane amounts of sugar) which makes it no fun at all.I did not like it!
