If making half a cake, slice the cake in half, horizontally, and then vertically. Use three layers for the cake and one for snacking.
Place some nuts on one of the layers and then top with some buttercream. Do the same thing to another layer. Place one layer on top of the other. Then, put on the final layer. Frost with the remaining buttercream. If you want to decorate the top of the cake, using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, make dollops on top of the cake and smaller ones at the base of the cake. You can top with nuts and dried fruit. It’s always nice to use whatever your cake is filled with to show guests the contents.
Slice and serve.
For Egg-Free:
Replace each egg white with 2 tablespoons liquid from a can of cannellini beans.
For Dairy-Free:
To make the cake and frosting dairy-free, use refined coconut oil or palm oil (NOT non-hydrogenated).
