Either way, it doesn’t matter. If you remove it, make sure your plate has a lip to catch any excess :)

For the 6″, it calls for 1/4 tsp for the frosting, will the cake also be 1/4 tsp?

It’s a wonderful recipe and that you included the smaller version. I was wondering if you had a smaller version of the Mexican Chocoflan cake recipe. I would like to make it for my granddaughter but I wouldn’t know how to reduce it from a 10 cup bundle cake that serves several persons. Could I hope for your small batch version or for two?

The heavy cream for the whipped cream topping is the “third milk.” Half-and-half doesn’t count as two milks :).

Add salt, and/or sub cinnamon for 1/4 – 1/2 of the sugar

I love love LOVEDDDD this recipe. I made this for my sister’s birthday. A bunch of her friends came over unexpectedly to surprise her as well. So a group of about 13-15 adults tasted this cake and absolutely LOVED it. I was SHOWERED in compliments. While I would usually think they’re just being nice; I totally believed them this time because this cake??? It was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!! I love love love love it, and will be making it MANY MANY MANY more times!

P.S. the substitutions I made were:

-couple drops of white vinegar for tartar
-whipping cream for half-and-half

(I also added rainbow vermicelli/sprinkles to both the cake batter and the whipped cream icing because it was for my sister’s birthday 🎂)

I am so happy when I see comments that actually say how the recipe turned out for them. Way too many people think they have to write to say they are going to make the recipe or that they think something looks so good. Hey, we know that. We need more people writing in and letting those of us that want to make a recipe know how it turned out for them!:)

I topped them with whipped cream, cinnamon, and strawberry slices. Will definitely be making this recipe many times over in the future!!

Half and half is made of 2 different dairy products. I covered this in the post. I count it as the third.
