Remember these cakes? I tried the yellow cake, and wow…it was delicious and also the only good yellow cake I’ve made. I didn’t want to waste a bunch of butter so I cut the recipe in half, and once it was baked I sliced the cake in half horizontally. This way I could make two half cakes with different fillings or frostings. I ended up using pastry cream for both middles, and I topped one with chocolate sour cream frosting, and for the other, (not) fresh strawberry filling on top of the pastry cream. As you can see I had trouble with the cake falling apart. There’s chocolate frosting glueing a large chunk on and as for the other, well…the second one is just a huge mess. A delicious mess.
Both cakes and all the frostings and fillings are included in the scan (open in a new tab/window to magnify).
