My sister's birthday is here! I gave her a choice this year - a fancy decorated cake like she usually gets or a fancy recipe cake that would taste amazing. She choose the latter. So I busted out my Baking From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan and looked up the recipe for a Black-and-White-Chocolate Cake. The recipe is for a delicious concoction of yellow buttermilk cake filled with layers of dark chocolate cream and white chocolate whipped cream and then friosted with the white chocolate whipped cream. I had been wanting to try it for while - so excited!
I made the cake layers no problem. Dark chocolate cream? Check. White chocolate whipped cream? Oops. My mixer broke! It was a disaster! Luckily I had some leftover buttercream frosting from a cake I had made the previous week so I filled the cake with the dark chocolate cream filling then frosted the cake in buttercream and decorated with a dark chocolate drizzle and sprinkles. It tasted delicious but I'm definitely going to have to retry this recipe once I get a new mixer! Josh and I have been married for almost eight years and I have broken three mixers in that time period. It may be time to shell out the money for a KitchenAid mixer...
