  17. Try this little trick when making this cake.
  18. Take the layer that has the least amount of rise on the top and trim it to be flat with a sharp knife.
  19. Place the trimmed side down (layer should be upside down).
  20. Then frost between layers and place the other layer on right side up and finished frosting.
  21. It will give the illusion of having a cake with only one domed layer and will sit better on your cake plate.
  22. Also the trimmings are great eating just plain for the cook or for the kids.
