Ground corn kernels cannot be used as a substitute; but arrowroot powder is an acceptable substitute. I hope this helps.

For a layer cake, I use 2 round pans; but for trifle or just as a snack, the larger rectangular pan works great.

If the cake is not sealed with the icing, it will dry out and become hard; also if refrigerated, it should be in an airtight container.<br />2. The cake should be completely cool before covering to avoid moisture from condensing and making it sticky. <br />I hope this helps.

I did put vanilla icing on the cake to see how the combination would be. I did have a couple of questions though. <br />1. When i put the icing on the cake and placed it in the fridge.. the cake because hard. is there anything I can do about that?<br /><br />2. If i just cover the cake after it is made.. the top part becomes sticky and moist. so putting the icing may be hard.not sure what to do here either. any ideas??<br /><br />thanks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192525622903426896.post-20339682999284869112009-06-24T23:44:27.802-07:002009-06-24T23:44:27.802-07:00Hi Anon,

A commercial egg-replacer or an equal amount of ground flax seeds can replace the cornstarch.
