Wow, that is perfect. We should produce our own cooking show. Martha Stewart eat your heart out!!!
Yes, I've baked that cake several times and it is wonderful! I have a funny story to tell about baking it one time a few years ago, back when I was younger and more spirited. I had baked it in a hurry and put it together before the layers had time to cool. As I was putting it into the refrigerator I let it tilt a little and the top layer slid off and hit the floor. SPLAT!!
My husband was standing there talking on the cell phone, when he saw what happened his eyes got big and he started backing out of the room real quick. I think he was afraid that I was going to start cussin! I was actually relieved because I had been worrying about eating too much of that cake, and the accident took half of the temptation away! LOL!

I bet we could come up with an entire thread on cooking mishaps, like the sliding cake layers. When I was a kid, my brother and I decided we were going to make peanut butter cookies. All went well until they came out of the oven, and were spread all over the cookie sheet. Seems we failed to recognize that the part of the recipe that said to add the dry ingredients included the flour.

If your floor was anywhere near clean, I would have asked/begged/told you to put it back on top and add the iciing. Nobody throws away chocalate cake when I'm in the house.
