Imagine my surprise when you referred to the exact same recipe! Guess I can't go wrong! This has been my mother's go-to cake for decades - birthdays, special occasions - and always a hit! (see Hedy, who I see has also found this recipe here.)Thanks for the chocolate shavings tip. I plan on trying it right away as it will definitely save my knuckles :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-42010513259896834172011-06-18T19:38:05.323-07:002011-06-18T19:38:05.323-07:00I've made this exact cake for years and baked ...I've made this exact cake for years and baked it in 2 round cake pans. Then sliced each cake in two. I divided the butter cream filling into 4 parts and filled each layer with the butter cream filling (3 layers) and iced the sides with the filling as well. Then iced the top using a chocolate icing. My grandson calls this cake my donut cake because it reminds him of the cream filled donuts you can buy :)Hedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-69746885664159186212009-01-23T05:29:00.000-08:002009-01-23T05:29:00.000-08:00Oh my Lovella...once again you have made something...Oh my Lovella...once again you have made something beautiful...in pictures and I am sure in taste.
