Bonita’s Tips:
Use fresh milk for cake if you don’t have access to evaporated milk. Also use freshly brewed coffee if you don’t have instead.
Use two round pans if you wish to have a round cake.

We hope you are still very interested in our cake recipe today…only a few steps to a tasty cake.
You can see the chocolate chips melted in the cake, I turned it over because the top was cracked but it still is fine to icing it cracked you can’t see that.
But we had a little dance class in the kitchen while we waited for the cake to be done and forgot the cake was in the oven. 🙂
But to prevent the cake from cracking put a cookie sheet under the pan with water in it the stream will help the cake from drying out and cracking.
Make the icing just before you are going to use it on the cake.
This will help the icing from setting to hard before spread over the cake. If this happens just add more evaporated milk and blend it again with the mixer…
Using a piping bag and top, decorate the top of the cake or write something on the top for a special occasion. Like ” Happy Birthday or Happy Anniversary!
