I made this in 2 8inch layers as you suggested and it turned out great. I frosted it with chocolate butter cream. We all thoroughly enjoyed it!<br />(Sorry I posted my question twice. The first one didn't show up right away and I was impatient)<br />I am so glad I found your blog. I love reading your posts and I haven't been disappointed with any of the recipes I've tried.<br />Thank You!Mrs. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223633277795075555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-31419017106298009722015-03-22T20:39:04.818+00:002015-03-22T20:39:04.818+00:00I would recommend 8inch layers Mes B.

Just check it at 20 minutes to see if it is done.

She was pedantic about mess as well. Searing anything meant trouble because God forbid anything spatter the top of the stove! Not fun! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-63692341091293251742015-03-16T12:00:48.327+00:002015-03-16T12:00:48.327+00:00LOL, Marie.

We figured out when I was growing up that you could squash a slice of store bought white bread down into about a marble size. Try doing that with a slice of homemade bread! I know what I would rather eat! xoxo<br /><br />Thanks Monique.

My mother never-ever used a cake mix when we were growing up and the ultimate insult about any cake would be my father saying: that's as bad as a birthday cake made from a mix. Because of that I do not use box mixes either, except on rare occasions and then you doctor them up with add-ins. I prefer the texture of a scratch made cake and recently have been experimenting with polenta and corn meal in the batter. I like the courser texture!!! I'll never win any prizes for my cakes, but there are a lot of smiling faces when they eat it.Sharon Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462501495383780806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-19752065494381286572015-03-15T06:01:11.158+00:002015-03-15T06:01:11.158+00:00Thanks Carol!

Plus she had been obese as a child, and my father was always battling his weight problem, so we were not allowed to have much in the way of empty caloriesin our house. You were a lucky girl! xxooMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-53563852528235096712015-03-15T04:29:34.299+00:002015-03-15T04:29:34.299+00:00Enjoyed this post, Marie.
