Well you could continue to make the larger size cake, but divide the batter into two 9 inch pans. Eat one & freeze the other for later use. Or make the large one and what is leftover can be crumbled into ice cream, or pudding to make a more special dessert. You could also add fruits like cherries or strawberries.
My favorite cake fillings are either a lemon curd filling with 7 minute frosting OR Grand Marnier whipped cream with fresh strawberries. Even if you make a 9 inch cake, just cut it in half lengthwise and fill it.
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
Beat chilled whipping cream, sugar, and Grand Marnier until peaks form. Gently fold in sliced strawberries. Use as filling between the two layers and then frost with 7 minute frosting.
7 minute frosting:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or 1 tablespoon white corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
2 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Place sugar, cream of tartar or corn syrup, salt, water, and egg whites in the top of a double boiler. Beat with a handheld electric mixer for 1 minute. Place pan over boiling water, being sure that boiling water does not touch the bottom of the top pan. (If this happens, it could cause your frosting to become grainy). Beat constantly on high speed with electric mixer for 7 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
