Final Comments


This makes a loaf shaped cake. I increased the frosting from the original recipe since the 1st time I made this there wasn't enough frosting to do the whole cake. The frosting recipe above is the perfect amount to have nice layers of frosting and enough left to frost the entire outside of the cake.
