Unfortunately, like so many others this cake was very thin for me. I baked a beautiful butter based cake last week in the same pans, with the same oven and leaving agents and no issues at all. I used natural cocoa powder as well. The pans are 8 inch, I followed the recipe exactly and I am quite disappointed. I bake all the time and have made many cakes, so I am not a beginner.

Does it matter if the cake pan is 8” square or round ?

In reply to Julie. Hi Julie, I would not cute the recipe down. Make as written and use the batter in three 6-inch round pans.

In reply to Eden. I’m planning to make this for my son’s birthday but due to the pandemic we will be celebrating it just the 3 of us. So I’m planning to make it to a 6 or 7 inch size. How do I cut the measurements? Divide it by 2 or 1.5?

In reply to Alyssa Santamaria. I would double it just to be on the safer side.

Hi, I am going to make a 5 layer 6 inch cake for my daughter using your icing recipe. Will the icing recipe be enough or do I need more?

Thanks!!
