This cake was delicious, but a fucking mess. I forgot to grease the cake pans like a goddamn amateur. It was my friend's birthday cake (sorry, Stacy), but she was nice about it.

Chocolate on chocolate or vanilla frosting? Maybe a raspberry filling? German chocolate? Nuts? Ganache? Dark or milk?" Honestly, my chocolate questions can go on and… Continue reading The Best Chocolate Cake
