  2. I make this cake all the time. It is the best cake in the world and once I make it my friends ask for it again and again. I substitute applesauce for the oil in the cake batter and it makes it even richer! I also add 3 cups of powdered sugar and 1/3 of a cup of milk for the frosting. Never added heavy whipping cream so I might have to try that =).
