OH MY! This cake was wonderful! It was torture to smell it baking and know that we wouldn't get to eat it until the next day! The frosting is amazing and when you first mix it together you are sure it is not going to work as frosting but it comes together and it tastes wonderful. I didn't give it 5 stars on ease based mainly on the fact that I am not a big fan of making layer cakes...it's my cake laziness. It is not a hard cake to make at all- it just takes a little extra effort.
