Because I only own two short pans, I halved the batter and made two cake layers. Also, I combined the frosting by hand and I used strong coffee in lieu of espresso. Nevermind. It was fantastic and I will definitely be making this again in the future for everyone I know. Love this and your Best Birthday Cake recipe! Now I'm gonna browse the archives for some more gems. What can I say. I have never made a recipe of yours that I didn't love. Thank you! I just made this with minor changes as a surprise for my husband and we both think it’s absolutely delish.

What to do with the chocolate? Melt it and put it in melted? What if you don’t have a food processor? What to do with the chocolate?

I used ghirardelli chocolate as that was the best aailabe at pathmart that day, and the frosting was more of a coffee color- I think if I made it again I would double the chocolate like Marilou- if just for a deeper color. Yum. Hi Deb, I made the buttercream frosting to pair with your perfect birthday cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday and all 20 guests absolutely loved this frosting!!!

Whenever I bake chiffon cakes, mine always immediately shrink as they are out of the oven [soft-peaks whites or stiff; they both seem unanimous] and then they get all raggedy. Is it because you use non-stick pans? [do you?] I use magic-line aluminum pans. Oh, and how come your sides look so pretty and uniform?

Can I replace, say, 1/3 cup of the flour with cocoa for a chocolate chiffon cake, or is the ingredients' balance too delicate to mess with? Hey Deb!

The consistent complaint from the Tiramisu Cake (which I promise to rework one day) is that there isn't enough syrup. This cake has a ton. So, you could use these layers and volume of syrup with that recipe or you could just make this, which will please any chocolate-addicted tiramisu-head. EmilyB — Yes.
