Made this cake recipe tonight and it was sooooo good! Only one small thing, I must have done something wrong with the frosting. It was delicious but was a little runny. I am not super good at baking. I tried to follow your directions but must have messed up a part. Any idea why mine would be runny? :D It didn�t present well because of that but luckily I was just making it because so we all ate and enjoyed my funny looking but oh so good cake. I will try again for sure, this cake is so good it is worth the effort it will take me to learn to make it right.
