Cakes are a yummy treat, but if you’re like most girls, you love the round layer cakes you can buy from the bakery, but have yet to have success baking one at home. If you’re ready for a bit of cake adventure, try making a layer cake instead of a pan cake the next time you’re inspired to play cooking games.
Make the Layers
Pour your cake batter into at least two, but probably three round pans that are the same size. The higher you want your cake, the more layers you should create. You might need to make an especially large batch of batter to fill all of these pans. Bake the cake layers according to the instruction on the box or in the recipe. When they are baked, remove them from the oven and allow the layers to cool completely.
Making the Cake
To actually make the layer cake, carefully remove the first layer from the pan and place it on the cake platter. Using a large knife, cut away the rounded top of the small cake so that your layer is completely flat. You can nibble on the cut out pieces. Spread a layer of icing carefully on top of the now flat layer before adding your next layer. If you will be adding a third layer, cut away the top of the second tier to make a flat surface. If this is the top of your cake, leave it rounded. When all layers are in place, ice the cake completely and decorate as you please. Enjoy!
