- How to Slice and Stack Cake Layers
- Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate. Make a 2-inch horizontal cut around side of cake using a long serrated knife. Then, cut all of the way through the cake layer to make two layers. Remove the top layer by sliding it onto a 9-inch round cardboard circle. Frost the cake layer on the serving plate with one-third of the whipped topping mixture, then slide the top half of the split cake layer from the cardboard circle onto the frosted layer on plate. Place the remaining unsplit cake layer on a cutting board. Cut into two layers as done for the first layer. Repeat the process of transferring the cake layers to the stacked cake layers on plate using the cardboard circle.
- Substitute
- Omit caramel sauce. Microwave 10 KRAFT Caramels and 1 Tbsp. milk in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until caramels begin to melt. Stir until caramels are completely melted. Drizzle cake with caramel mixture just before serving; sprinkle with the pecans.
- Substitute

We didn't like this at all. Followed recipe exactly and was very disappointed. It looked beautiful but there are much tastier things to spend calories on!

Excellent cake! It truly is luscious. I made this for a Christmas Eve dinner at a relatives house this year and it was a hit. No changes needed, perfect as is.

This was very good and easy! I am not much of a baker and this was a big hit. added chopped walnuts instead as well as adding them to the batter itself.
