I baked this chocolate cake last week, just for kicks. Well, in fact, no, it was also to celebrate something. It is my grandmother's recipe. I did it fairly well, although the icing as usual was a tad too liquid, so it got quite wobbly. But it stood and it was delicious, just decadent enough, as chocolate cakes should be. On top of it, there are sugar sprinkles on top of it. You might also have noticed that some of the sprinkles are dinosaurs shaped. This was my wife's idea. Of course, Wolfie added the sprinkles, as he's the assistant baker. He sprinkled generously. In fact, he poured them right on top. That's his signature.

Chocolate cake (and dinosaurs)

I hope you saved me a slice!
ReplyDeleteI love making my grandma's recipe's looks good.
ReplyDeleteLe liquide, il faut l'ajouter en très petite dose pour le glaçage. Je penche du côté plus sec dans mon mélange, et quand la quantité semble bonne, j'ajoute un peu de liquide, si j'en échappe un peu trop, alors le dernier ajustement de sucre en poudre est minime jusqu'à consistence souhaitée.
