I have the Momofuku cookbook and I have made this cake 3 times. Each time it just tastes off and I finally realized that I HATE the grapeseed oil. I know that it’s supposed to be tasteless, but it’s not. At least not for me! If I ever decide to tackle this cake again I will use canola oil and see if that makes it better. I loved the texture and everything else about the cake. I also wanted to tell you that I have make your Caramel GIngerbread Cake many times and it is a HUGE HIT everytime! There are not even crumbs left over so thank you for giving that recipe to the world!

In reply to Kat. Hi Kat! It's difficult with this frosting as the sugar adds stability. So less sugar means an even softer frosting. You could try adding less sugar and see how it goes and/or add a bit more salt.

Hi,
Can I substitute the grapeseed oil with canola oil?

Thank you!

Hi Olivia, my DIL was crazy over the cake! She didn’t know it could be made at home and was touched that I did that for her. She kept taking pictures of it and sending it to her friends. What a show stopper!

Hi this is my first ever comment on Pinterest. Just wanted to thank you for your Milk Bar Birthday Cake recipe. I made it today and it looks great so far. It’s currently in the freezer and I’ll be bringing it for my daughter in laws birthday Sunday. I did taste bits and pieces as I went along…everything tasted delicious.
I chose your recipe because you’re funny, you increased frosting recipe and you had the 15 by 10 pan in clearly in your recipe!
( I had ordered the 13 by 9 sheet) which was on other recipes and….well…overflow was prevented when I saw your blog! Thanks again!
