Hi susan0206

If both the cakes for stacking are Mrs Jones’ vanilla cake I can’t see why not, it’s a really lovely recipe. I don’t think I would stack a heavier cake on it, other members may have and will be able to advise better. Here is an alternative recipe http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/10860/ which is very good for stacking. I use all Jane Hornby’s recipes, they are excellent and very reliable. I know several other members have used this recipe and will voice a similar opinion. It is more dense than Mrs Jone’ recipe but not as heavy as Madeira cake.
