Fabulous!!! Absolutely loved the cake itself! Very moist and great flavor with all the buttermilk!

Made in four 6” pans with nice height even when split to 4 pans.

Gave as a gift of 3 layers and kept one for us…this is headed into the Go-to list!

Thanks for a great recipe!

In reply to Olivia. Thank you! I used fresh raspberries blended with sugar per your recipe. For the frosting I blended 1 pkg cream cheese and about 1/8 cup raspberries and a bit of sugar and then folded the blended mixture into 2 cups of whipped cream, 1/8 c icing sugar. It was great! I think I recall this iteration was from a previous recipe in your site?

Hi Margaret! You can use a cream cheese frosting for this if you prefer (https://livforcake.com/cream-cheese-frosting-recipe/) but it will be much sweeter. Using raspberries is fine too!

Dud you have a similar recipe but instead of mascarpone it included cream cheese? Also, could this recipe be made with raspberries, and if so any suggested changes?

In reply to Marisa. Hi Marisa! If only a day in advance you can leave them on the counter. Or refrigerate as it would make them firmer and easier to stack and decorate.

Hi! You mentioned that the cooled cake layers could be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen, but if I am planning on baking the cake layers and then making the other components and assembling the cake the next day, should I still freeze them overnight or could they go in the fridge? Thanks so much!

Hi Yelena! Each cake layer is just under 2″ tall. Converting pan sizes is always tricky. Here are some sites I use as a guideline:

https://www.cookipedia.co.uk/recipes_wiki/Cake_tin_conversion_charts

For three 9″ pans I would 1.25x the recipe.

Hello. Keeping the recipe as is. How tall each layer turns out? Will 1 recipe be enough for 3 9″ layers?

Thank you!

I made this cake for my sons 24th bday after he requested a strawberry shortcake, cake! It was delicious. The cake was dense but light and paired perfectly with the frosting and 🍓 strawberries. I drizzled fresh strawberry syrup just over the top. Everyone loved it. Great recipe and beautiful presentation. Definitely a large cake.
