This will happen if there was not enough moisture in the cake or if you over-baked it.
That should not happen, and it does not need to happen. This probably occurs because the cake is either too dry, too crumbly / weak, or you are pressing and spreading the icing around too hard.
To effectively moisten a dry cake after icing, you can brush the cake with a simple syrup or a flavored syrup. This will add moisture to the cake without affecting the icing on top.
Ingredients1 Frozen pound cake (16 1 sm Can peach slices in heavyserving size) -syrup, drained 1 sm Jar raspberry preserves Whipped creamSlice the pound cake lengthwise into three layers (ie. first slice off the top, then the bottom). Spread the raspberry preserves in between the 3 layers, and re-assemble the pound cake. Cut the cake in half, and re-freeze one half. Slice the rest into 8 pieces (each piece should have 3 layers with preserves in between). Place a peach slice on top of each piece and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
you get a dry measuring cup, scoop and then get a straight level surface like a knife and swip the top off the dry measuring cup
Use a dry measuring cup, and level each one off at the top with a smooth edge so that it is exactly level.
Because the lower layers of a 5-tiered cake must support the weight of the higher layers, a Red Velvet pound cake would be much better than a simple Red Velvet cake. In any tiered or stacked cake, you need to use appropriate rods inside each layer except the very top. Each layer must also rest on a cake circle (a cardboard or plastic disk or plate,) which can be disguised by frosting, coconut or icing decorations.
A "wet cake" as a specific desert is a type of cake from Argentina (Torta Morjada) and other Latin American countries in which a cake is soaked in syrup after cooking. A traditional recipe would call for the cake to be served in a shallow bowl filled with a dulce de leche and/or heavy cream (sometimes with fruit), thereby ensuring the bottom of the cake gets soaked by the syrup and the top remains dry. The cake is then cut and served and additional syrup may be poured on top of the cake as desired. Otherwise, in a general sense, calling a cake wet could indicate that it is undercooked.
There are several easy desserts. One of the easiest is to serve fruit. It can be canned or fresh. You can top it with whipped cream or serve it over a pound cake you bought. Triffle makes a pretty dessert that's also easy. You can buy a plain cake (white cake or pound cake) and cut it into cubes. They buy or make your favorite pudding (vanilla works best). They pick your favorite jam. In a tall sided bowl (clear so you can see the layers), layer the cake, then the jam, then the pudding until you've used it all up. You can top with whipped cream if you like.
Cake Icing is a mixture of butter, sugar and flavouring you put on top of a cake.
It tastes like regualr cake, and the only differences would be type of cake (pound, vanilla, chocolate, coconut, carrot, ect.) or added ingredeints. For example, pineapple upside down cake is very popular. That would taste like a sweet vanilla cake with icing and pineapple. Ive never understood why fruit layered in the bottom of a cake tin and then tipped out when cooked so that the fruit is on the top, is called upside down cake. Because you could cook it with the fruit on top, I have many times, and it makes littlle difference. Of course it could be that it was invented in Australia !!
Well it depends if you can use an oven or not. If you can't use the stove or oven, you can buy angel food or pound cake and top it with fresh fruit or ice cream. Or make an instant pudding and top it with whipped cream. If you can use the oven or stove, you can make a cake from a mix or from scratch depending on how much experience you have in the kitchen.
Traditionally all the layers of a wedding cake was made with fruit cake, but nowadays it can be anything, from chocolate cake to vanilla cake.
