365 Day Project | Day 49 | 02.19.2013

Yesterday was my husband’s birthday and we had a yummy cake to celebrate. Seriously, this was yummy!

I found the recipes online through Smitten Kitchen and The Pioneer Woman. It was a chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache filling and this sweet vanilla (?) icing on top (which I should have made a double batch of…doh!). The chocolate cake was so so moist and rich. It had the consistency of a boxed cake mix (which I love. Don’t judge.), but the flavor of homemade. And the ganache was creamy and rich and was the perfect compliment to the cake. This frosting is my favorite as it’s smooth as butter…’cause that’s the fat in it! YUM! Go make one. Delish.

I ended up with this shallow depth of field photo because my cake decorating skills are lacking and I didn’t have enough frosting to properly cover the cake. I used the natural light from the nearby window, but, in retrospect, I should have grabbed a reflector. Oh well. My photo mistake certainly did not alter the taste of the cake and that’s all I had on my mind! Happy Birthday, love!
