This is A Layer Cake

I attempted the Layer Cake on Bakerella's blog. Got my pans at the $ store, probably only needed 5 pans; the pans cool quickly. She talked about using parchment paper, that's fine, but buttering & flouring the pans AND the parchment paper.

Isn't that what non-stick spray is for?

I'm lazy.

I'm trying the spray.

I also did half oil/half applesauce in the cake mix.

I used a cake mix, because again,

I'm lazy.

I would try a cake from scratch next time & no applesauce.

Just because it would probably be prettier.

I made Pioneer Woman's chocolate cake icing for the layers.

That's a favorite at our house.

It was an easy cake,

You can be messy & it still works.

Des (or anyone),

you're welcome to borrow my pans.

mmmm....I'm ready to make another one.
