    The directions/ingredients do not match each other from the blog to the printable recipe. I am attempting to make this today, following the majority of the printable recipe. Hope it comes out well!

      I agree. It lists sugar twice but only shows brown sugar in batter. Instructions say brown sugar and sugar but no list of amount of sugar.
