This cake was a big hit. We liked that it only calls for one layer and that gets split. (Half the calories/serving??) I made it with once with vanilla extract since I have a daughter who cannot stand almond. The second time I made it with the almond extract but used dark chocolate instead of white. Both were well received.
I am making this cake today for the 2nd time. It’s a beautiful recipe and easy to do. The trick with the frosting is to get it SUPER cold before whipping it! Then you have to beat the heck out of it. But I promise it does get lovely and thick and creamy! I made an 8″ cake. The frosting was JUST enough for 8″, but if you are using 9″ or bigger, definitely double the recipe!This time around I am using fresh raspberries and peaches! I can’t wait to eat it! Definitely a 5 star recipe!
I made it and it was delicious. Though I couldn’t find white chocolate baking bars so I used semi-sweet chocolate baking bars instead. It was so yummy. It didn’t last long at my house. Soon had the neighbors asking for more. Everyone loved it! I can’t wait to make it again but maybe for a family gathering or something.
Yum! I made the cake my usual way (box of cake mix, 1 cup water, 1 cup mayonnaise, 3 eggs) added the almond extract and baked it according to the box instructions. I had white chocolate chips so I used those, but found they didn’t melt completely with the hot cream so I put the mixture in a pan on the stove and melted it this way. The end result was very yummy. The cake could have been eaten alone it was so moist and tasty. Great recipe.
I made this cake for the first time. It was so good. All except I tried to make myself a 4 layer cake instead of a 2 layer. I see why it is only 2 layers. HAHAHA. Mine turned out to be a roll over cake but it didn’t matter even if I had to spoon it up it was still good. Looking to make another one soon, but this time I will be making the 2 layer and not trying for 4.
