woebegone
Assistant Cook
I tried to make this cake for my daughter's birthday. Twice, now. Both times I had a cake that would not rise and icing that was too dry and hard to spread.
I know nothing about baking a cake. I've always used the retail mixes. But she wanted this really bad.
If someone could take a look at the recipe, I'd be much obliged. It's a ways down the page, toward the end.
Perhaps I needed baking soda, instead of baking powder? Or there's a typo no one caught? I don't know how to operate a mixer?
I think the icing just needs a bit more cream with 8 cups of powdered sugar. Or just two cups less.
Please help!
