      The icing recipe is out of whack, it made more of a chocolate sauce, than a icing or a glaze, i used probably less than a quarter of the total amount of icing, 24 oz of evaporated milk and 2lbs of powdered sugar makes way too much of this chocolate sauce for the cake.
      The cake recipe was fantastic though, made 8 layers with no problems, all came out nice and level, I was happily suprised with that.
      Next time I will use the same cake recipe, but choose a different icing for a better presentation.
      Instead of a impressive cake I ended up with what looked like a large stack of pancakes covered in syrup.

      Very good custard-like batter which bakes into a dense delicious yellow cake. I didn't have many pans, only a nice cast iron pan. So instead of of doing the traditional 9-10 layers, I opted to make 4 thick, moist layers. I adjusted the cooking temperature to 400F and increased the baking time to about 11 minutes. The sauce/icing really does firm up as long as you boil most of the water out. Moist Cake + Gooey Chocolaty Icing = Awesome!
