We decided to have our cake by the pool yesterday and this was perfect with a great cup of coffee midday.
The cake is very thick, make sure you have shaken the pan back and forth to evenly distribute the batter and to get all the air bubbles out by hitting the bottom of the pan on top of the counter first
Layering is easy just start with the batter, add the filling and top with the last bit of batter.
Easy ingredients to keep on hand to make this delicious cake in a pinch.
Beaten in a heavy duty industrial mixer, the batter is nice and smooth.
Butter is at room temperature. All ingredients beaten together till smooth and thick.
Most everything is in the pantry for me all year round.
