hi! i wanted to make a chocolate fudge cake in a few days and i pulled from multiple recipes. would this make a sturdy enough cake? or if anyone has a suggestion on my calculation.
how can i be sure that the filling and icing will be enough?
i know for the 2 layers i need 4 cups and for a filling, it is usually 3/4 cups so that is why the icing amount is small, since I am making it separately. i'm open to all suggestions and recipes to your fudgy chocolate cakes. also extra question. for a fudge cake, i know the crumb coat isn't as important but i did want the cake to look somewhat neat, so i'll take suggestions on that too. thank you so much!
