I haven't had this in years. My mom used to make this for our birthday cakes, and we couldn't wait for our birthday to eat it! However, Mom always made fresh whipped cream (with heavy cream and powdered sugar) for the frosting instead of the sweeter butter cream. It was the best! Thanks for reminding me about those birthday cakes! I think I will make one now (with whipped cream, of course).

Can I turn these into cupcakes? What would be the cook time, if so?
