The cake was delicious and the cream cheese frosting was the best I ever had! That being said I made it in 3 7” x 2” cake pans. I just doubled the recipe. You could use the extra for cupcakes but one of my cakes was not cooked through, even though I checked it😵‍💫 I didn’t over mix it but the cake was dense. I used the same amount of ingredients as the recipe called for.

In reply to Caitlyn. Hi Caitlyn! Yes, you can switch to any cereal but you probably ant to omit the cinnamon from the recipe then. Note that other cereals might not be as flavourful. I would sprinkle Fruity Pebbles between the cake layers rather than making a crumble. In hindsight I'd probably to that with the CTC cereal if I ever make this cake again.

I just want to say that I haven’t made this recipe yet, but plan on it being one of the very first ones I do when my kitchen remodel is done! That being said, do you think this is simple enough to switch to a different cereal without changing the overall recipe/process? I have a friend who loves Fruity Pebbles and I would love to try making this with that cereal as well.

In reply to Clara. I think you and I had the same confusion. I understood the save for later part to refer to the wet cereal not the milk which I was sure we'd need to use. It took me a few rereads to understand that there were no directions for the wet cereal. Lol

In reply to Clara. Hi Clara! It's in step #1 of the assembly: Place one layer of the cake onto a cake stand or serving plate. Brush with 2-3 Tbsp cereal milk.

Hi! You say to save the remainder from making cereal milk but never state what to do with it. What are we supposed to do with it?

Delicious! I made this yesterday for my son’s 13th birthday. He was so thrilled that he could have his favorite cereal in CAKE form! We all loved it. It’s a very decadent cake: quite sweet (I mean, that’s no surprise—it’s an ode to sugar cereal) and rich but really well balanced. I’m not ashamed to say I licked the spoon, and the spatula, and maybe even the bowl a bit when I made the frosting. SO good!!

I went the extra mile and did followed all your tips: I made the cake-release goop (worked like a dream) and fashioned some homemade cakes strips (double layer of bath towel wrapped in foil. No doming!) now I’m all set for future cake baking!

The only slight change I made was to use three 7-inch pans instead of 6-inch because that’s what I had. It worked absolutely fine. I don’t know how long they baked because as usual I forgot to set the timer. Ugh!!

Thanks for the delicious, as well as detailed and easy to follow recipe!I can’t wait to bake another!
