It's a pretty cake--even in color if a little pale, nicely domed, perfectly satisfactory in the home-made-cake category.
Now, here's the cake that I placed on the upper shelf:
Weird, right? Can you see how it sunk in the middle and it looks a little pudding like? And the surface of the thing, there are little pin holes along the edges? Why would that happen?
Fortunately, chocolate frosting forgives all.
It wasn't my best cake, but it was my most mysterious.

that is a purty, purty cake. as for WHY you got two such diff layers, i find all the ways of my oven mysterious, so i got nothin'. it's probably because of SCIENCE.
the frosting was so shiny, but not that thick - another weird thing....if only i had the patience I could read harold mcgee or some such. But, really, i'd rather just eat cake.
FYI: I asked Melissa about the cake discrepancy (http://melissaclark.net) and she said, "Oh, sometimes that happens."
