Notes
** The cake will probably sink just a tiny bit in the center. I usually slice the top anyway to even it out so the sinking doesn't matter to me. To do this, just flip the cake onto a cooling rack initially. Once cool, flip over to the other side and using a bread knife lightly even out the top of the cake. Then flip that rough side onto the cake stand so that it's the bottom. ** Calories listed are estimated for cake only and do not include the frosting.
