Ina Garten's (aka the Barefoot Contessa's) Chocolate Cake
Happy Spring Break to all my fellow students out there! My Morning Chocolate will be on hiatus for the rest of the week. But I didn’t want to leave you hanging. So, dear readers, here is the Barefoot Contessa’s chocolate cake recipe.
The cake is fudgy and moist, and the icing is buttery with a strong coffee flavor. I decorated with Whoppers because I made this cake for my Dad, and they’re his favorite. (Although, I did pick more than my share of them off the cake when we cut into it – thanks for not minding, Dad!). I think it’s the perfect week for cake – after our long winter in the East, everyone has a reason to celebrate because Sunday is the first day of Spring.
The cake decorated with Whoppers and chopped chocolate.
Until next week, enjoy!
whoppers make a beautiful and easy cake decoration – thanks for the tip!
*sigh* this looks delicious… I need an excuse to make it.
that cake looks like so much fun to make and serve for a birthday. I love anything decorated in candy. Whoppers are a great touch!
