Last month was a birthday month at our place, it was my 30th and Ethan’s 6th. I kept this cake until this month, because I wanted to suggest a few ways of making it. If you’re doing your holiday baking now, you can always change the color of your cake sprinkles and you got yourself a Christmas cake. But for other times of the year, you can keep it just the way I made it.

There is a very generous amount of cream in this cake, don’t get scared, that’s what makes it really amazing. The cake comes out very light with this incredible cream on the inside. I think I had way more compliments about the cream than the cake itself.
