FAQ
Q: Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes, bake the layers a day ahead and store them tightly covered. Assemble just before serving.
Q: Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk for the frosting?
Evaporated milk gives the classic thick, caramel-like frosting. Using regular milk will result in a thinner consistency.
