i decided to make a cake for elaine's birthday a week ago. when i heard she liked chocolate, i decided to go with a flourless chocolate cake - the same one i made for fred's birthday last year. this cake is dense and rich. after i made the flourless chocolate cake, i was suddenly inspired to make a layered cake. i had the afternoon free so i decided to go for it. i found a regular chocolate cake recipe and made one cake layer. I then whipped up some heavy whipping cream and spread the cream on top of the flourless chocolate cake base. i added the second chocolate cake layer on top and then spread the remaining cream on top and around the side of the cake. the cake looked a little sparse so i grabbed some sliced almonds and set them along the side of the cake. to finish off, i added some homemade raspberry sauce and chocolate on top.
this is the final cake. it was certainly rich and heavy with the flourless chocolate cake as the base. next time i'll probably stick with layers of regular cake but now i'm inspired to try my luck with making cakes!
