If I haven't already mentioned it, I LOVE Martha. When I say love, I mean obsessed. It's a little
much. In fact, I just spent about 20 minutes in PetsSmart looking at her new pet line. Everything she touches is gold. The fact that she went to prison and then came back to make her company even stronger makes her that much cooler. With that being said, I hope I have done her recipe justice.I made this cake for an office birthday party. The birthday gentleman requested chocolate cake with chocolate icing, so I wanted to make it epic. I wanted people to have their veins flowing with chocolate by the time they were done eating a slice. I should also mention that the birthday party gave me a reason to bake other than to just make a cake and eat it all myself....
When I made the cake, I had left over batter, but not enough to make a whole other layer, so I decided to make cupcakes. The whole recipe makes enough for a two layer cake and 3 giant cupcakes. Perfect! Warning: I didn't flour the pans after greasing them, so I had a few near disasters! Both cakes had a crack on a corner, but I melted some chocolate and used it as a glue to put all the pieces in their place. Problem solved!
As it is Sunday evening and I am feeling a little on the lazy side, HERE is the link to the cake recipe. Additionally, HERE is the link to the ultimate chocolate frosting. Wanting to lick your spoon already? I thought so.
Enjoy!
Chocolate cake!!! That looks really amazing! Who wouldn't want chocolate cake anyway? I simply love baking and this is one of my favorite cake to make. No wonder it's my kids' favorite, too! I like the rustic look of your cake by the way, really nice.

This cake did not Rock, it Bouldered!!! I was among the fortunate few who attended the Office Party that this delicacy was featured. Well you know that last slice of cake that no one eats for fear of looking too greedy or selfish...well I ate it. Proudly and with gumption! It was like a delicious Chocolate Ogre came down from the mountains and laid waste to our poor little office.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa and Keep baking!
