I have baked, and I am back.
AH!! that cake was delicious!
I don't know that I have ever been more impressed with myself (bake-ly speaking).
It was chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. Not very nice to my tummy because I forgot to take lactose blockers but all things considered, worth eating anyway!

I followed suggestions to substitute 1/4 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup shortening for the recommended 2/3 cup shortening. Then I used one of those store bought frostings in a can that comes with decorator tips just to decorate the edges. I'd like to make it look nicer next time by trying to figure out how to keep cake bits from de-coloring the frosting...the only thing I can think of is use lots more frosting.
Bottom Line- It was a hit.
