It's not the cake's fault, nor is it a flaw in the recipe, so I won't even say what cake this is. I will say this:
pay attention to what you are doing. Be mindful as you move through life. Don't go cleaning your caked-up kitchen and talking on the phone while the mixer whips the frosting all by itself. Turn off the mixer is you must go chase an errant dachsund back into the yard or a black bear off the deck. Practice salsa dancing spins
after your cake is frosted. Your stand mixer can and
will overwhip the cream to butter, and as Michelle explains in her "Note on Whipping Cream" there's just no going back. Throw it out, and start over for it is ruined. If you think you can put this oddly textured butter-separated-from-cream concoction on your otherwise lovely cake and hide the mistake with chocolate curls, you are wrong.
