Reply:The version of the cake posted by "JUST BEACUSE" is spot on - as a matter of a fact, I just made a very similar version of that same cake tonight and it it the most moist, flavorful, light and fluffy cake I have ever made. The icing is a perfect combo with the cake flavor and texture.



You just have to make sure your frosting is a good spreadable consistancy before you start the process, and cool layers COMPLETELY before icing at all.
