I don't usually bake anything more complicated than drop cookies. But Adam spotted this in the magazine and so I tried to make it. It's fairly basic and simple until you get to the whole frosting thing. I don't have a turn table and I couldn't remember where I'd put my lazy susan since it didn't fit in the cabinets so I ended up just using the cake container. I also didn't have a spatula so I used a butter knife. Gah. I admit it wasn't the best result, you can totally tell the cake layers slid out of alignment, and I could have used some more frosting between the layers. Oh well. It still tasted just fine. Perhaps I'll invest in some more appropriate cake-making supplies before my next attempt.
