Hi cakequeen followers! Just got back from a relaxing 3 days at the cabin! Didn't think about cake at all until the ride home today. You see tomorrow is my husband, Hank's birthday. I ask him what kind of cake he wanted me to make. He said an old fashioned chocolate cake like mom used to make. (Mom used Betty Crocker but we won't remind him of this). Well, I really wanted to make the Red Velvet or Coconut, but the more I tried to lean him in that direction, the more he resisted. I even tried bribing with an extra gift, no way, he wasn't going for it. And, he even said "no ganache, just old fashioned chocolate frosting". Man, he is picky. Just cause it's his birthday he thinks he gets to choose. Ha. So here I am making Buttermilk Chocolate Cake with Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting. I want to add nuts, or coconut, or caramel between the layers! Anything! But I won't, I am letting him have his way, this time.....
Happy birthday to Hank first of all.....and sometimes a cake like mom used to make is a good sugestion...especially when he realizes the ones you are baking are much better after he revisits hers again..so make it simple..make it plain...he'll come to his senses...
