I made this cake and it was SO good!! I did not have dutched cocoa, and could not find it in any of my area grocery stores. So, I used natural cocoa, adjusted the baking soda, and cut out the baking powder and the cake tasted great and rose beautifully. I had the same issue with the layers sliding off of one another, and found that refridgeration was the best solution.
The cake was a hit at the party, despite it's lopsided look. I plan to make it agin for the next family function!
