kraft kitchens tips

Note

Use a 2-layer cake mix to bake 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake layers. Cool completely. Use 1 of the cake layers as directed. Wrap remaining cake layer tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil. Store in freezer up to 1 month.

How to Slice Cake Layer Evenly

Place cooled cake layer on serving plate. Make a 2-inch horizontal cut around side of cake using a long serrated knife. Then, cut all of the way through the cake layer to make 2 layers.

this was very very good. Let my icing sit for 5 minutes and it thickened up nicely. A great cake and will be made many more times in my house.

This dessert is soooo delicious and looks beautiful. We love it! My icing was runny at first too. I chilled it in the freezer cause time was tight and that firmed it up. Hope that helps. Cheers!

I just made this cake right now, and the chocolate ran all over and down the cake. I followed the recipe to a tee and the chocolate topping wouldn't firm, it just stayed all runny. How do i fix this for next time?

I add orange extract to the melted chocolate and moisten the top of the cake with some simple syrup before spreading it. The orange comes thru with every bite and surprises your taste buds. Very easy and better than any store bought cake out there.
