All reviews are in! The buttermilk chocolate cake with sour cream chocolate frosting was divine! We ate at Laurelhurst Market for Hank's bday and took the cake with us. They were super great at this restaurant and served the cake to us! As you can see it is deep chocolate with a tiny coffee flavor, but all the raves were about the light yummy frosting. Some at our table commented about how they could eat that frosting with a spoon. Not too rich, just perfect! If you are looking for a great place to eat meat, this restaurant is the bomb. However, my opinion is that the mussels, which we ate 3 different ways, were the best ever! The owners are golfers so they thought my husband was some kind of celebrity, didn't hurt! Fun place!
So, back to the cake! It was easy to whip up, nothing complicated! Especially if you do the cakes
one day, wrap in plastic wrap, then frost the next day, it takes practically no time at all!!
The buttermilk & sour cream takes it a step above the old-fashioned chocolate cake I imagine :)
ReplyDeleteIt was delicious mom, great job. Definitely your classic chocolate cake with tiny twist! I am so lucky that I get to eat all of your cakes! So what's next??
ReplyDeleteCakequeen is on vacation for a while, but as soon as we all recover from our parties, I think I better do coconut for my patient and wonderful son in law, or red velvet for all my followers!

Fantastic! I'm sure your cake will be wonderful! If I made it again, I think I would serve with maybe a blueberry, blackberry or raspberry coulis on the plate, then the slice of cake on top. All Hank wanted was a glass of milk like he was a little boy again!
