I made this cake for my father in law's birthday. I need more practice trying to get my lines straight but overall, I was happy with it. I finally got a turntable and tried the VIVA method - worked great! This was also the first time making the white almond sour cream cake recipe and using Sweetex - loved both. He and I share a birthday and I don't always make him a cake so this year I made sure he got one.
