In my quest to develop the ultimate chocolate cake recipe I have been fortunate enough to create, and therefore eat, many amazing cakes. Here are just a few of my more memorable attempts...
 |
| Caramel porter chocolate cake with salted caramel frosting |
 |
| cake batter was made with Saranac caramel porter beer |
To read about the making of this cake, please visit the site formerly known as Oh Cake
here.
 |
| New Year's Eve dessert - chocolate cake with mocha frosting and chocolate covered coffee beans |
 |
| Deep chocolate caramel cake |
 |
| This cake features layers of deep chocolate cake and caramel cake with salted caramel filling topped with chocolate ganache. | | |
|
 |
| Chocolate cake with bitter orange filling and coconut cream cheese frosting. |
Unfortunately this last cake was my personal least favorite. I felt the cake itself was too dry and the coconut frosting was sloppy. I made it for my sister-in-law's birthday and she, fortunately, graciously said she enjoyed it.
I am still on a quest to develop my own recipe for the perfect chocolate cake but I took a bit of a break over the summer. Now that fall is here and cooler weather is on the way it's time to get baking again!
