While this was tasty, I have to say that both the title and the description of the recipe were misleading. This is not a cake at all, and there is no way that this could be used to make a layered cake. The texture is very brittle, in fact is started flaking apart as I removed it from the baking paper. Trying to cut into it with a knife would be just as bad, especially if it was layered with a soft filling. I'm sorry, but I will not be making this again.
