I'm making a coconut cake for Easter, already baked 1st 12" layer and when I was mixing the second one notice that I forgot to substitute water for coconut milk on the first one I went ahead and added coconut milk to the second mix. Options Leave it as is icon_cool.gif , re-bake or I was thinking that I can put the coconut milk less one on top and make coconut milk syrup for it. I really don't now if this is a big deal or not. I have about 20 people coming but they are all family. I would ask my husband if he can tell any difference but I'm sure he'll say they are the same icon_confused.gif . What you guys think?

how about you torte both cakes, so that you have 4 layers. Stack them every other, one coconut milk, filling, one w/o coconut milk, filling, one with coconut milk, filling, one w/o coconut milk.

I really like this idea and it would be the perfect solution... if only I could torte I'm afraid of the cake splitting in half ( it happend to me before) when I picked it up. Maybe I can try that in the morning ... I'll try to encourage my self. Any tips so I don't break the layers?

When you split the layer, slide a larger cake board into the split to pull the layer off. This will make it easier to move it around and place it again...

slide something in between to lift it up....ie cardboard, cookie sheet w/o sides etc.....

when you tort, slide a cardboard between them to remove the top torted layer. After putting the filling in, the top torted layer will slide right onto the bottom cake.

It's, as we say in the trade, (oh gosh, I can't resist)......!

Also maybe a simple syrup with coconut milk or flavoring in it to brush over the layers?

and to give layers even more coconut flavor, I spread cream of coconut (not coconut milk) over the layers and let it soak in. It gives it an amazing coconut flavor.

Also a cracked cake is not the worst thing in the world. That's why icing was invented!! icon_lol.gif

If you put yor cakes in the fridge overnight before you try to torte and move it is much easier as the cake is much firmer.
