Instructions
Prepare Cake according to package directions, adding in vanilla extract & Grand Marnier per box of cake mix.
Use 2 boxes of Cake Mix per 12" cake pan, making sure to fill only 2/3 full.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean. This will be longer time than box shows as you're doubling recipe.
Allow cake to cool on wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn onto wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
To make an allergy-friendly buttercream frosting, use dairy-free butter substitute like Earth Balance. Allow butter to come to room temperature 1 hour. For a large shower/wedding cake, I tripled this recipe.
In stand mixer, add butter substitute/butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Grand Marnier into mixing bowl, on low setting, until smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
When assembling cake, add a dollop of the buttercream 1st onto the cake platter, then add 1st layer of cake. this is essential as it acts like a glue - keeping the cake from moving.
For a more custom cake, use a small jar of raspberry or strawberry jam mixed with a tablespoon of Grand Marnier as middle layer cake filling.
Then top with next layer of cake.
Repeat again, so have 2 layers of cake with 2 layers of jam filling. Add the 3rd cake layer and frost top and sides with the Buttercream frosting.
Decorate as you'd like - paper or fresh flowers, cake topper or something special for the person/couple. Have fun with this!
