In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! Unfortunately I haven't weighed this one. :( It's been a while since I have made it personally and I just started recording it not too long ago.

Hi, there. I have a bit of an annoying question, but I think I recall you doing this for another cake or two. About how many grams of batter per pan? Knowing makes it so much easier for a 3 layer cake! Thank you in advance!

In reply to Susan. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Susan! Is it possible the cake was slightly over-baked causing it to be dense? It shouldn't have turned out dense like a pound cake. :(

I made this cake for my neice who loves snickerdoodle cake. I’ve never made it before but the end product looked amazing. Unfortunatley when we cut into it we found that the texture was more like a pound cake and quite heavy. The taste was good and the frosting was amazing however I would have liked the cake to have been lighter while still moist. In my opinion, it was too dense.

In reply to Bethany. Hi Bethany! My American Buttercream could work, or I would probably suggest the ermine frosting. I hope you love it! :)

In reply to Valorie. I would love to make this recipe for my husband's birthday however he does not like cream cheese at all do you have another recommendation for the frosting?

In reply to Jeanne. I have used brown sugar ermine frosting with your chocolate cake twice now, and it is delicious!

In reply to Valorie. Hi Valorie! While that does sound delicious I haven't experimented with it so I can't say for sure how to do it. You could try putting a thin layer in between the layers of the cake with a dam holding it in. Good luck! Let me know how it goes if you try it. :)

I want to make this with an apple pie filling. Do you have any suggestions?

In reply to Jeanne. Hi Jeanne! I haven't personally used brown sugar in the ermine frosting, but others have told me they have done so with success. Sounds delicious! Enjoy! :)

I made this cake last Christmas and loved it. My nephew is asking for a cake that has cinnamon for Thanksgiving. When I made your cake last year, I thought ermine frosting would be divine with it. I’m thinking of making your ermine frosting recipe but substituting brown sugar, like you used here, for granulated and a little bit of cinnamon to compliment this delicious cinnamon swirl cake. Do you think that would work? Thanks and happy holidays!

In reply to Sue Bee. Hi Sue! I would recommend making my snickerdoodle cupcakes instead. :)

So excited to try this, as a friend has asked for it as a wedding cake, She would also like 24 cup cakes. Can I use this recipe for cup cakes?

In reply to Stephanie. I'm so glad the cookies have been such a hit, Stephanie! I haven't experimented making it pumpkin flavored, but that sounds like a good idea. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

Is there a way to make this flavored like your pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies? Those were such a hit that TWO family members are requesting a cake version of it for their birthdays. You’re stuff is so tasty!

In reply to Maria. Hi Maria! While I haven't personally tried it, this is a pretty stable cake so it should work. :)

Hello! Is this cake sturdy enough for a two tier wedding cake?

Thank you!

cake was moist but too sweet. Frosting was delicious. I’ll would bake it again. But with less sugar for the cinnamon swirl part. I just don’t care for overly sweet desserts.

In reply to Cedes. Hi Cedes! Any neutral cooking oil will work; avocado, canola, or vegetable oil will do. :)

Hi what kind of oil did you use in your cake batter? I want it to turn out as best as possible! Thank you!
