You should definitely reserve ¼ of the brittle for the garnish to go on the highest of the cake

Because the addition of that candy praline paste would improve the sweetness of the buttercream I not noted 2 cups of the powdered sugar from the recipe of American Buttercream
The caramel sauce was additionally ready the day earlier than, however will be made as much as 2 weeks forward of time!
In actual fact the longer it sits within the fridge, the thicker it will get!
I’m within the behavior of constructing 7″ cake layers however when you solely have 8″ pans, simply divide the batter equally between 2-8″ cake pans as an alternative
Soy milk is the one milk that can thicken upon including vinegar which is what we do to make a mock “buttermilk”
