Notes
For best results, sift only cake flour several times to create a tender crumb. If you must substitute all-purpose flour, replace 2 tablespoons with cornstarch per cup, but true cake flour is preferred. You can make the cake layers and creams separately a day in advance, storing in the refrigerator. Assemble and decorate before serving for the freshest look. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days, or freeze unfrosted layers for longer keeping. For a dazzling effect, chill the cake before adding drizzles so the sauces don’t soak in.
