Why Does My Strawberry Cake Always Fall Apart?
Decorating By kimheflin Updated 13 Feb 2007 , 3:40pm by bkdcakes
I have tried to make the strawberry cake from the cake mix doctor book and everytime I try to torte it it crumbles. It almost seems TOO moist. It also has a hard time staying firm under fondant. What am I doing wrong? I always check doneness with a toothpick and I take it out of the oven when the toothpick comes out clear and the cake seems to have pulled away from the sides. Do I still need to cook it even longer, leave out the strawberries or do I just need another cake recipe?
