Pity the poor layer cake!Those darling cupcakes have stolen your spotlight, shoving the majestic layered beauties into the deep background. It seems as if it's practically impossible to find a piece of layer cake in restaurants around Seattle. Or am I missing something?
In honor of National Devil's Food Cake Day (May 19), I'm going to take a crack at making one. Why not? When I was younger and had a house full of siblings to help tackle a big batch of sweets, I'd make sheet cakes all the time. The sticky business of frosting a layer cake was vexing, though. It always turned out lumpy and bumpy.
But, as the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. I'll post a pic of my effort. Anybody care to share a failproof recipe?

When did she come around? My 5-year-old -- who's delightful in every other way -- still subsists on PB&Js, cheese, candy, noodles and more cheese. It pains me since I love to cook so much ... At least he likes bread! I'm hoping he graduates to regular food soon!
