I made this cake for my husband's birthday and it came out excellent. The frosting however...not so much. It tasted good but it wasn't thin enough to pour over the cake. I had to spoon it on the cake and spread it with a knife...any ideas what I did wrong? Measuring the powdered sugar is just like measuring the flour. You'll want to fluff it up before spooning it into the cup, always sift after measuring. If you "dip" it out you'll have too much. This could make the icing thicker than expected. Frank @ KAF. Also, if you waited even a touch too long to pour - it hardens quickly, and that might be what happened... PJH
