The Best Chocolate Cake

The Best Chocolate Cake
The Best Chocolate Cake is combines cocoa and coffee to create a chocolate lover’s dream. The rich buttercream frosting makes it perfect! We’re a family that loves to double down on chocolate. Peanut butter is a favorite, too, and my No Bake Cookies combine both with oatmeal. But since there was a birthday, I felt like I really needed cake. For birthdays, we have to do it up right by making my version of cake bliss. My family enjoys watching me flit from one thing to another like I’m their own personal reality show for entertainment. They love to point out when my missing spatula can be found at the computer desk, or my phone in the pantry, and helpfully letting me know that the oven timer has dinged at least 15 times. I also like to do things in excess – you know a little mound of frosting will never do in this household. I need to swirl on a pile of it on top, and then top it off with ganache just for the fun of it. I started my chocolate cake adventure by baking this cake – twice. Notes: Related:  Chocolate Cake

Sandy's Chocolate Cake Recipe: How to Make It Roasted Tomato Soup with Bacon, Cheese & Orzo - Sass & Veracity — S... My meager pot of tomato plants has finished producing and been cut back to a few stalks jutting from the dark soil they’ve been planted in since May, waiting for me to pull them up. But I’m lucky to have friends whose plants are still producing and thankfully willing to share. The challenge for me at times is knowing what to do with them because my own plants have rarely produced more than what we can eat in a salad. Into the freezer they go — stems and all. I’ll have to blame my need to use some of my frozen homegrown tomato stash on this Irish Blue Cheese and Tomato Soup recipe from Soup Chick. I love a good food experiment, don’t you?
