This is what I plan to do when I try it. I am not into homemade cakes anymore.

Problem is that the "Buttercream Frosting" in a can probably doesn't have real butter in it. They ususally have some kind of hydrogenated oil. My feelings about that are that if I'm going to be bad and have all the fat (and I am) I would much rather have the good-tasting butter than the fake stuff. I don't often make homemade cakes myself, but I just may have to try this one. I still think I'm going the cupcake route though, because I'm frosting-challenged when it comes to cakes (lol).

True on that. I keep thinking about this cake and how much I wanna get a taste of it. :lol:

I may make it for Thanksgiving, that way there are 15 people eating on it and one piece will be enough. :mrgreen:

I made this cake on Sunday. I did not cut the cake into four layers so I made half the receipe for the icing. It is very good. The brown sugar in the icing gave the icing a little crunch and it was very good. Special event cake.

Yes, the frosting was thick, almost too much frosting. I used the large bag of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 2 sticks of butter. Turned out perfect.

Glad to help. I figured out there in Alberta, you just rope your own cow, milk her and make your own butter! I'm just kidding, of course. Just a nod to you Cowgirl heritage.
