What to put between the layers?
If I'm making a 3-layer cake, I'm using a thick and stuff buttercream between the layers.

It can be used with any frosting and icing you like. Some ideas:

This recipe seems to be missing a lot. Picture shows a 3 layer cake, but there is no information about that in the recipe. What size cake pan (tin) should be used? "Add milk to perfect consistency" does that mean I might need more or less milk? Where does it say to "strain" (sift?) the dry ingredients. I've never heard of anything 'on' room temperature.
