Something is wrong with this recipe. My grandmother use to make this cake. It was a favorite. I didn't have her original recipe, so I looked on the internet to make it. I made this recipe, but made it with butter instead of shortening. It was a flop. It raised then, fell in the center. It was dry, not moist like I remember my grandmother's. Also, it fell apart when I tried to cut the layers. This recipe calls for two tablespoons of baking powder. I think this is part of the problem. I'm wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience with this recipe. Also, my grandmother didn't make the filling like this recipe called for. I know that she changed it. She would whip cream, add cocoa powder, vanilla and sugar. I'm not sure if she added fine granulated sugar or confectioners sugar. I am still trying to perfect this recipe. Any suggestions?
