Thank you! I only have one cake tin on hand, would you recommend spitting the recipe in half, and leaving the batter in the fridge while one layer cooks, or mix it up in two parts (split recipe in half, and make one half after i get the cake tin cleaned)

It’s really subtle, but you can omit the coffee if you’d like!

I made it again and it gets the sour smell as soon as i add the milk before it even cooks too. All fresh ingredients.

I made this recently and it was amazing!! My frosting did not look as dark as the picture but was so fluffy and a perfect combination to the cake.
