Hi Emily! No, I’m afraid that wouldn’t work very well. But you can try this recipe instead and use brown sugar in place of granulated: https://livforcake.com/ermine-frosting/

Could I substitute meringue powder mixed with water instead of egg whites? Price of eggs now are high

In reply to Leslie Gross. Hi Leslie! Yes, you can make it in two 8" instead of 3 but note that you'll need to bake them longer. And no, you have to cook the egg whites to also dissolve the sugar and give the meringue more structure.

Could this be made in 2-8” pans. Also, could you use pasteurized egg whites and skip the cooking step.

In reply to Elisabeth. Hi Elisabeth! Yes, that should work fine. You may need to adjust the baking time.

Hi, I’m not very good at assembling cakes, could I make this into a 13×9 pan instead?

Hi Helen! So happy you liked it. If you’d like a less sweet frosting you can try my Ermine or German buttercream recipes.

I made this cake yesterday and we loved it. I passed it out to friends and neighbors. The majority liked the cake but thought the frosting was too sweet. Is there a buttercream frosting that would go with the cake and filling?

This was my first time ever making a Swiss meringue icing, It looked terrifying before it all came together but in the end it came out so smooth. Kind of like an extra creamy whip cream. This entire recipe is absolutely delicious!
