In reply to Liza. Hi Liza! No, I don't recommend that. You'd need a pan at least 4" tall. It would take forever to bake and the sides would dry out.

Hello! I was wondering whether it is possible to bake the batter in one deep 8-inch pan and divide it into three layers after baking and cooling? If so, could you please advise on the baking time.

In reply to Tane. Hi Tane! I haven't done so myself but it should work if you use a proper GF all purpose flour blend.

Thank you! 🙂

This is my second time making this cake and I really enjoyed it!! This time around I used 100g less of the sugar as I found the cake to be a bit too sweet for my personal tastes and it came out great. Love the mascarpone whipped cream, adds a little bit more body and richness as opposed to using only whipped cream. Thank you for this recipe!

Fabulous!!! Absolutely loved the cake itself! Very moist and great flavor with all the buttermilk!

Made in four 6” pans with nice height even when split to 4 pans.

Gave as a gift of 3 layers and kept one for us…this is headed into the Go-to list!

Thanks for a great recipe!

In reply to Olivia. Thank you! I used fresh raspberries blended with sugar per your recipe. For the frosting I blended 1 pkg cream cheese and about 1/8 cup raspberries and a bit of sugar and then folded the blended mixture into 2 cups of whipped cream, 1/8 c icing sugar. It was great! I think I recall this iteration was from a previous recipe in your site?

Hi Margaret! You can use a cream cheese frosting for this if you prefer (https://livforcake.com/cream-cheese-frosting-recipe/) but it will be much sweeter. Using raspberries is fine too!

Dud you have a similar recipe but instead of mascarpone it included cream cheese? Also, could this recipe be made with raspberries, and if so any suggested changes?
