Ever since reading the last chapter of the book with the story and recipe for the Winning Hearts and Minds Chocolate Cake, I've been wanting to make it. This is such a good recipe that the author made 20 of these to serve as her wedding cake. Luckily for you, Molly has the recipe on her blog!
Yesterday, was finally the day I had time to make the cake. A bonus was that I had all of the ingredients on hand and didn't need to do any extra shopping for the cake.
This is a VERY rich cake, so if you aren't a big chocolate lover, you've been warned. I thought it was fantastic. The recipe suggests serving it with slightly sweetened whipping cream, but we didn't have any, so we served it with vanilla ice cream.
Now I just need to decide which recipe from the book to make next: the Banana Bread with Chocolate & Crystallized Ginger or the Coconut Macaroons with Chocolate Ganache.
(There are also really great sounding savory dishes in the book, I just have such a sweet tooth, so I tend to want to bake treats!)
Yummy will defo have to try this. I have a sweet tooth too!
ReplyDeleteoh my, that looks fabulous. I am such a sweet tooth for baked goods too. Candy I could totally live without, but cookies, cakes etc--totally my downfall, so maybe I will pretend I did NOT see this lol! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so bad...I haven't visited you in a while! :) I came to see some of your recent things and browsed through you posts for the past month or two!!!! LOVE what you have been creating AND cooking! I am so hungry now for mini carrotcake Cupcakes, and that ice cream with peanut butter sauce, and chocolate chip pie, and that Bday cake you made for your daughter with the banner is just adorable and looks SO yum!!!! Hope you are doing well! :)
