Hi Tricia. Yes, one batch should be enough for two 6″ round layers. Let me know how it goes!

Hi I tried the cupcakes and they were good. Am keen on making it into a 6” cake too. Is one batch of the cupcake recipe able to make 2 layers of 6” cake? U mentioned adding passion fruit curd in between layers. I hope I have time to try that. Thanks

This is such a great recipe! Thank you for writing it so well and making it so straightforward and clear. I appreciate the simple proportions which worked well even when I quadrupled this recipe for a large crowd. The tip about removing 4-5 lychees from the can to get 3/4c of puree was very helpful as I don’t have a kitchen scale. Reserving the lychee syrup is also a great way to incorporate the flavor into the buttercream. I used a small amount of pink food coloring in the batter and the buttercream to really drive home the lychee-rose flavor. Thank you!

Hi Erika, I think either works fine; it’s just up to your tastes and baking needs. I prefer the taste of Swiss meringue usually, but American is easier to make and much easier to pack if you’re transporting to a party or other event.
