    This cake was a showstopper at our family gathering! Everyone raved about the moist cake and rich frosting. Definitely a new family favorite!

  • Gerry Simonis

    I found the frosting to be a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and it was perfect!

  • Loyal Spencer

    A bit time-consuming, but the end result is totally worth it. The thin layers make it so unique and delicious.

  • Mac Legros

    My first attempt was a disaster because I overbaked the layers. Make sure to watch them closely! The second time, it turned out beautifully.
