Hello Chele. I’m so happy you relished the recipe! I’m getting a challenging time imagining how this cake could be gritty, so I’m not sure why yours came out this way. If you're able to grow on gritty in more detail I could possibly support… was it dry? also http://ecigarettekits88887.fireblogz.com/23670208/getting-my-bearded-baker-batter-643-to-work
