Sunday was Sweetie's birthday. I asked him what sort of cake he wanted, because around here, you get what you want... once a year. He asked for vanilla cake with chocolate frosting and he wanted it from scratch. Alrighty then... Betty and Duncan (Crocker and Hines, that is) were getting the day off, but I wasn't. I found exactly what I was looking for
here at Fine Cooking with the added bonus of being 4 layers and having a raspberry jam/Grand Marnier filling.
He couldn't wait to dig in, although security tried to hold him back.
My evaluation... Making the cake was easy. The frosting had quite a few steps and nearly every measuring cup and spoon in the house had been dirtied. The cake could have been a little more moist, and the frosting seemed at bit too buttery, but the birthday boy was happy.

Delish-mouse as my grandmother used to say. And make no mistake, Betts knows how to create a celebration.
