Thanks txkat! Like I said earlier I will be trying your original first. Was just curious about what else could be done with it. So, this cake isn't really for kids, huh?

For a yellow butter cake for kids, I use a modified version of Toba's yellow butter cake.

I filled it with a mixture of fresh raspberries and vanilla bean pastry cream, and iced it with a grand marnier enriched white chocolate ganache.

Any reason why I couldn't make the double chocolate cake a few days ahead of time and freeze it?

That chocolate cake (as I make it, and I have adapted the recipe for commercial use) is one of the few cakes that I make that has no ill effects from being frozen.

The texture is different after they come out of the freezer. Some would say they are "moister), but to me they denser and more pudding-y. ( I only bake from scratch so it's not pudding) and doesn't have the fine textured crumb that I like.

Most people don't notice. My husband says I am a neurotic perfectionist.

Ladyonzlake, did you add the navan to simple syrup to moisten the cake or just the navan alone; how much would you say you moistened it? How are you adding the navan and vanilla to the icing; how much ? TIA!
