Looked great and tasted delicious, but very dense. I didn't split the cakes into layers. Maybe that would have helped. Tips on what would make this lighter? No buttermilk?

If you're looking for something smaller, you can cut the recipe in half and use only one cake pan. If you slice the layer in half, you'll have a moderate-height two-layer cake. I can't say for sure how the recipe will work with an 8-inch pan (or two). To be safe, I would not fill the pan(s) more than halfway full. You might need to adjust the baking time as well. Please let us know how it turns out! Good luck! Kristin: It’s a tall cake, which probably explains the larger quantity of ingredients.

The only thing, though, is that i've noticed other recipes that call for two 9-inch cake pans seem to use nearly half the flour! (and less of other ingredients also). Are your cake pans extra deep? I think I only have 8-inch pans, so I might have extra batter anyways! I am on the hunt for a white cake recipe for my boyfriend’s birthday, and I think I am going to try this one.

I clicked over here from Serious Eats today and I love your site. This cake looks delicious, but the reason for my comment is to ask... is your "prett-y prett-y good" a Curb Your Enthusiasm reference? I really hope so. I say that all the time and no one ever gets it! Hi! I clicked over here from Serious Eats today and I love your site.

But I'm pretty sure you're required to say these things. Ali: By now, you know that I managed to tuck away a couple slim slices for you (or .... an entire half a cake ... which you really should share with your roommates). Patricia, Maria, Brilynn: Thanks! Amy: I am so using the word squidge as much as possible from here on out. Kaykat: We've got so much leftover, so I wish I could share! Mandy: Thanks! If you try it, let me know how it goes. I'd be especially interested to get feedback on the cake (versus the ganache). Kev: Thank you. But I’m pretty sure you’re required to say these things.
