Oh my, Oh my. Now this will be my go to pound cake recipe. This is the best cake I’ve had in a long time. Thank You!

Thanks! Do you have any idea how much jam I will need to get the 2:1 ratio to the buttercream?

I make one batch of buttercream for a double layer 8 round cake. You will have leftover frosting, but I’d rather have too much than not enough.

If I am making just the layer cake, how much frosting will I need? I’ve never made a buttercream frosting before & I can’t tell how much the recipe will make to judge how much strawberry jam I will need.

Thanks Mash! You could certainly try whole milk or maybe even heavy cream. I’d try the whole milk first though.

Well this is even MORE interesting!! I definitely didn’t whip it TOO much (though I could still try tapping the pans); I don’t keep powder or soda around long enough to get old; I’m sitting low in eastern North Carolina probably BELOW sea level; and my oven is practically brand new…. huh! I bake a LOT of cakes around here… I am just going to have to try this again!!! You make this cake just fine and others have too – I won’t rest until I perfect it!! 😀 THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no! I’m sorry that it’s not working for you. There are several reasons why a cake might fall. First, too much air whipped into the batter….try taping out air bubbles when batter is in the pans. Second, old baking powder/baking soda. Third, cooking at a high elevation…I’m not sure how to accomadate for high elevations, but I know their needs to be slight modifications. And it could be that the cake isn’t completely baked (or your oven temp is off a bit). You can also try using bake even strips from Wilton…I’ve heard they help with ovens that cook uneven or when making a large cake.

I hope these tips help. I’m sorry you are having trouble.

They actually would have been GREAT as a “bowl” with fruit and whipped cream on top, but I was trying to make a cake. I ended up slicing the top parts off of all four layers and making do with what I had. But I’d really like to get this right in the future!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
