- Once the cakes are cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides.
- Garnish with sliced almonds. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar. You can add a layer of raspberry or strawberry jam between the cake layers for a fruity twist.
