  1. WOW! That cake looks delish. All of this food is making me hungry. Love you dress where’s it from?

  2. just wondering how come your cake has 4 layers nad the recipe seems to only make 2? did you use smaller pans or double the recipe? thanks.

    1. Hi Eleanore, thanks for stopping by! Yes, the recipe makes a two-layer cake. If you would like it to be four layers high, simply make a double batch! I find it has more “oomph” with four layers vs. just two, but if you’re making it for a smaller crowd, two layers will usually do.
