Best Birthday Cake

This birthday cake was a big hit. In addition to following the instructions included in the recipe, I also followed many of the tips. located elsewhere on the site, for making layer cakes. I baked the cake layers two weeks in advance and froze them. When I went to assemble the cake, I brushed each layer with simple syrup to maintain moisture. I used the sour cream frosting included in this recipe, although next time I might try the fudge frosting which is proposed as an alternative. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
