   Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

   Körülbelül 15 p

   A szakács megjegyzése: The cake must be warm, not hot, when you add the soak.

8. 8

   Using a fork or a thin skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake.

   Körülbelül 2 p

   A szakács megjegyzése: Poke the holes about an inch apart to ensure the liquid soaks in evenly.
