In reply to Erika. Same here, and the cake was dry. Not sure what I did wrong.

I made this cake for Christmas dinner dessert and it was a huge hit. I was worried that it would be too sweet, but it was actually very well-balanced. I will be saving this recipe for future Christmas seasons!

In reply to Elizabeth Welch. I haven't made them into cupcakes yet but I think it should work well. I'd do 3-4 maybe.

In reply to Deb Chilson. I haven't tried this one in a tube pan - so it will depending on the size of your pan. It would be plenty for a 10 cup tube pan but if you have a 12 cup tube pan you might want to 1.5x the batch.

I want to make this for my family Christmas celebration, but I need to make it friendly for some dietary needs. Is it possible to make this gluten free? Do you have any gluten-free flour recommendations?

Is there enough batter to bake in a tube pan or should I double it?

Is this whipped cream topping stable enough to be piped?

Can you make this into cupcakes? If so, how many pokes would you recommend?

I’m making 3 of these cakes for Christmas Eve. (30 people at my house… I’m excited!)
2 quick questions-
1) I don’t have enough glass pans for three cakes, so I’d like to use disposable pans if possible. I understand I need to reduce the baking time. Do you have any recommendations for good quality disposable pans and any tips?
2) I plan on freezing them. Should I freeze a completed cake, whip cream and all, or just freeze the cake only and assemble the day of? If I freeze only the cake, do I freeze it in the pan, or remove from the pan to freeze?
I guess I had more than a couple questions. Yikes!
Thank you for any help! I just love your cakes!!!

In reply to Keely Henkel. I always use granulated sugar in my caramel recipe. The key to making homemade caramel is letting the sugar and water mixture cook until it reaches an amber/brown color. If it doesn't cook enough, it won't become caramel and when adding the heavy whipping cream, it will be too thin.

Help- the caramel didn’t work? It says granulated sugar- that’s white. I’ve always used brown sugar to make caramel. Did the sugar types get switched in the recipe?

I made the cake, and while it was amazing in taste, it crumbled everywhere. I couldn’t get a clean piece out. What went wrong?

Hi Courtney! I’m looking forward to making this. I noticed you don’t have the weight measurements for the ingredients like you do for your other recipes. Would it be possible to add that? Thank you so much!

Do you think I could make this a day ahead?

In reply to Bethany Whiteley. You can do it either with just the caramel on it or all the way assembled with the whipped cream.

Quick question: you say to chill the cake after assembled—does that mean even with the whipped cream on top?

Making this cake for a Christmas family get together. How much of the caramel do I use? Thanks
