EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

*To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350°F oven 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

Use a knife dipped in warm water to cut the cake easily.

Instead of beating whipping cream and powdered sugar, you can use whipped cream topping from an aerosol can.
