Worth giving it a try if you're considering it. It's a really fun cake to make and super pretty. A few bites is all that most people will want, but kids love it.

I love sweets and candy and anything with sugar but I gotta say, this is hurt your teeth sweet. I made it for my nephew's birthday last year and WOW is it sweet. I've made many-a-cake in my day, and while this is not the most elaborate cake I've ever made it is in the top three for sure. I’ve made many desserts from Tosi’s Milk Bar Cookbook and even my Parisien husband who is EXTREMELY particular about his desserts will indulge in a small slice!Ĭakes, as people, shouldn’t take themselves too seriously.

The addition of the pinch of citric acid to the frosting gives a nice hint of tartness. The cake is super -sweet and goes well with a nice cuppa tea or coffee for the adult and a big glass of milk for children. With the leftover cackle scraps I make cake truffles. I’ve made it a few times and always gets the happy reaction !

I haven't made this recipe yet.Ĭontrary to the negative comments, this cake is just fun! Granted it isn’t a fancy dessert such as a Paris Brest but it’s an enjoyable Birthday Cake. Can anyone explain what purpose the baking powder in the frosting serves? I'm just curious.
