Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute margarine with something else?
Yes, you can substitute margarine with butter for a richer flavor. You can also use coconut oil or a dairy-free margarine if you're looking for a vegan alternative.
How should I store the Old Fashioned Biscuits Cake?
The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container. If you want to keep it longer, it is best to freeze it, where it can last for up to three months.
What can I do if the cream is too runny?
If your cream mixture is too runny, try adding more powdered sugar to thicken it. Alternatively, you can chill the mixture in the fridge for a short time to help it firm up before assembling the cake.
