Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare as directed, using BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream.

How to Neatly Frost the Cake

Freeze cake layers about 20 min. before frosting. This helps to set the crumbs on the cut edges of the cake layers so they don't pull up into the frosting. And don't worry if the frosting does not look perfect on the sides of the cake - the nuts will cover any imperfections.

Variation How to Prepare in Round Cake Pans

Prepare as directed. Pour evenly into 2 greased and floured 8 or 9-inch round cake pans. Bake 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool 10 min. in pans on wire rack; remove from pans. Fill and frost with PHILADELPHIA Walnut Frosting. Store in refrigerator.
