My only filling was frosting between the layers, but it was really thick.  Oh, well, I haven't had it happen again...yet.  Thank you, ma'am.  Pat liked it.

So pretty Sandra....I don't think it was any one thing...but a series of them. Cake was probably not dense enough...perhaps your filling oozed out...did you create a dam??....and the heat/humidity...

yes that was my prob , the cake was not dense enough ! I always add 3 eggs , nx time I will add the 3rd egg ! it makes it stand up better ! to all the decorating and frosting ! you can see inside the cut cake the blue was even lighter than the chocolate ! that really caved !

If I had to guess, I would say it was because the cake was not firm enough for stacking (even though it does have dowels) AND, I wasn't kidding when I said it really has frosting and inch thick all over it.  It was good, though.  I did have it in the refrigerator, but it bulged when I took it out anyway.

Katy, got a handle on the Southern USA favorite?  It is from Southern Living in the mid 70's.  If you need it, I would be happy to post.
