A couple days ago, I was browsing through my Pinterest dessert board looking for something to make for our friends' New Year's party tonight. First I thought I would just be lazy and make the boxed brownies I have in the cabinet. But then I thought, wellllll.... I'm on vacation, I have the time. I need to go all out!
And go all out, I did. With Sweetapolita's Neapolitan layer cake. Devil's Food cake layered with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream... I can't believe I have to wait another 6 hours to delve into this thing, it's just not fair.
It's a little frillier than I would have liked due to my choice of icing tip, but I didn't have the one she used in the blog. (We'll just pretend I'm practicing for a little girl's birthday party ;-) I used my usual Devil's Food cake recipe because I was a little wary of the mayonnaise thing, but if you try her recipe, I'd be interested to know how it turned out.
Hope you have a happy and prosperous new year! We are looking forward to new challenges ahead!
