You know, I just posted this recipe as well, and I actually tried it (the chocolate variation), and the cakes came out PHENOMENIALLY! The frosting? I wasn't so hot about. I'm going to delete my recipe since you have posted this here, but maybe I'm just not a fan of egg-based frostings? Someone had suggested that I try to put it in the broiler after I frosted it to toast it a little, but when it says "Use Immediately", they MEAN it. You cannot let this set overnight!
