Sure, it looks a little messy because taste, not style, is king this week. This is a white cake with plenty of butter and milk, so it’s GOOD! The frosting is pretty rich–sugar, butter, cocoa powder–and chocolatey. I smeared it on without much discretion because we’re eating it soon anyway. My family is getting together for a pot roast (snowy winter day here) later and no one judges on looks. Thank goodness!

Judging from the “cake scraps”, this is a tasty layer cake. My kids love it when I level cakes and they get to eat the scraps. Like the tops of muffins, they are the best part! Of course, I get to lick the frosting bowl while they eat the scraps, so everyone’s happy!
