To Cook the Cake
10
Microwave one cake at a time for roughly ⏱️ 2 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch in the middle and pulls away from the sides. (This cooking time is based on a 1200 Watts microwave, so your cook time may vary). Take care not to overcook or they will dry out.
11
Allow to cool in the pan before turning out on a cooling rack.
12
To Assemble and Decorate the Cake
13
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and scoop on a ⅔ cup (5 oz/142 g) of my Best Ever Fudge Frosting. Use an offset spatula to spread the frosting all the way to the edges of the layer. Continue stacking cake and frosting until you have filled and stacked all 3 layers. Add more frosting on top and decprate with fresh berries.
14
Enjoy with a cup of coffee! Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
