PJ, I grew up adding salt, baking powder and baking soda to the flour. I've noticed lately it being added to the creamed mixture. Is it critical in this recipe? It just seems to me it would be more evenly distributed by mixing it with the flour first. This looks great, I love single layer recipe as my family is not too keen on cakes. I might try a layer of peanut butter filling under the frosting for a tandy cake re-do. yum! Happy New Year!! Fran Oooh, Fran, now THAT sounds good - PB and chocolate. I just pulled this cake out of the oven again - wanted to compare it to the classic 1-2-3-4 cake people usually cite as their favorite. Looks like the texture would be sturdy enough for spreading with PB - go for it! PJH
