For easier layer cakes, for easier cakes to decorate, a tip on how to pour the batter to make your cake top flatter. (From Modern Woman magazine, volume 17 number 1, 1948.)
"If you pour your cake batter so that it comes up to the sides and corners of the pan, leaving a small depression in the center, the cake will be perfectly flat on top when baked."
Does that then mean you get to eat the extra frosting directly from the bowl since, now, there's no place for it to go?
Please leave a comment or share your wisdom. You may disagree, but kindly remember your manners; as Grandma used to say, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

And all this time we've been cutting the top before icing the cake! I'll suggest this next time ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have just been turning them upside down and frosting the bottom it's always flat and of course extra frosting :)
