Will really love to make this cake soon. Am a starter and am so loving this site. Hope u will help me grow in this my baking journey. Thanks u r doing a great job
Just made this cake, in a "jelly roll" type pan. Did cutouts with my larger Christmas bell cookie cutter. Will highlight top of bell with cream cheese icing sprinkled with gold sanding sugar, pipe zigzag line across lower area of bell (maybe colored with the same gold sugar)l, and then put a half of a dried cranberry on the bell clapper (probably with small dot of icing to adhere). Taking to an office Christmas party tonight. I only baked the cake for 20 minutes at 350, and it turned out perfect. The taste is unimaginable!!! I LOVE this recipe!! Thanks to whoever came up with it. It will now become a Christmas "must have" at my house each year!!!
Can this cake be frozen? It looks awesome and I have buttermilk in the fridge but it's only two of us and I would like to make it before the buttermilk goes bad.
Thanks, Sandi
Please specify the type of flour used.
