Gratitude is extended to the Brown Eyed Baker for posting this recipe and offering clear instructions.
From my personal experience making this cake annually for three years now, I learned a few things and offer them to you.
When making the cream filling, stir stir stir with a spoon or spatula. Avoid the short cut to use an electric mixer. It will separate the cream.
Remember the cream of tarter which is added when whipping the egg whites. I thought I had added it as I stated in the 2021 video. Turns out I added a bit of flour instead. The whites still whipped nicely, yet the cream of tarter would have made them ideal.
If you like cinnamon, add 1 - 2 teaspoons when sifting the dry ingredients together: cocoa, flour and salt.
Store the finished cake under refrigeration. Dust with powered sugar immediately before serving.
Have fun and laugh as you go along to celebrate the love, peace and joy of the season through baking.
