Hi Jessica! It can be made as a three-layer 8-inch cake if you make 1.5x the cake portion of the recipe (multiply each ingredient by 1.5). You can do the math by hand or use a recipe scale calculator like this one to get the right amounts: https://www.inchcalculator.com/recipe-scale-conversion-calculator/ hope that helps!

Could this be made into 3 layers with 8 inch cake pans? And if so are any adjustments needed? Thanks!

In reply to Nicole. Hi Nicole! You absolutely can decorate the cake and store it in the refrigerator overnight. I do that all the time! Just bring it to room temp an hour or two before serving so it comes back to room temp.

Hello, could I make this cake including frosting it and do the ganache and store it in the refrigerator overnight? I won’t have time to make and assemble etc the day of the event. Thank you! Can’t wait to make this.

In reply to Bec. Hi Bec! Happy New Year to you too! Yes – what I would do is make a half batch of the Nutella buttercream for filling and crumb coating the cake, then I'd use my basic vanilla buttercream recipe (tinted light purple) for the outside. That would be the best way to get the look you want for the outside of the cake without sacrificing the pretzel/nutella flavor. Enjoy!

Hi Whitney,
Happy New Year!
I’m keen to make this cake but with a pale purple frosting as it’s for my daughter’s birthday party. To get it to the right colour, should I forgo using the nutella buttercream and just stick with your basic vanilla buttercream recipe? Will that alter the overall taste of the cake too much?
Thanks so much!

Oh. My. Gawsh. I made this cake for a friend who is a pretzel fiend. I am a nutella fiend. The combo was ah-mazing. It was G-O-N-E in a flash. And I got called the Cake Boss. Thanks! I Made the two 9-inch layers, and so I had a fair amount of the buttercream left over. Also, I think the ganache makes too much. You could make half that and still have some left. It was painful to pour that down the drain, it’s so delish.
