I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote an article here. I've been devoting what little time I have to my other blog. But I thought it was time to get to work! And what better way to start then to brag about my triple layer chocolate cake!
It was a pain in the neck to make, but the results were worth it. First I had to go and buy new cake pans with three inch high sides.
I used vanilla butter-cream frosting for the layers, and a chocolate ganache for the top and sides!
I didn't wait long enough for one of the cake layers to cool, so when it broke, I had to repair it with ganauche. My grandmother used to say it all looks the same when it hits your stomach.
Anyway, here are the pictures of my cake. Making a cake from scratch isn't as convenient as a mix, but the texture is really something worth working on! Most cake mixes have pudding in the mix, so they're moist. But a real cake is tender and the mouthfeel (I hate that word, but I can't think of a better way to describe it) is superior.
