Notes

  • Use cold eggs — We recommend using cold eggs, straight out of the fridge. This way, the eggs will work better as a binder and prevent the dough from spreading.
 
  • Need more booze? — As ironic as this might sound, our recipe for Italian hangover cake could be made with more liquor, with only a few splashes of Grand Marnier. Just decrease the amount of Greek yogurt.
