40 servings? give me a break, that's crazy, no one will cut them that small. I too had trouble with the layers, will try the suggestion.

I too had problems with the layers but then I started putting the whole pan in the fridge after adding the white layer and letting it get good and cold. Then I quickly add the chocolate layer on top and spread that VERY fast. Back in the fridge. Comes out.

This is delicious but I always have trouble with the white and chocolate layer so I started swirling the two on the top. It's easier and it looks pretty also.

It doesn't mention cooling the chocolate frosting at all, and when I put it on top, it seemed to work at first, then it heated the creamy layer and it all slid off the sides of my poor cake!
