if you know me by now, you know what a huge fan of chocolate and coffee i am... i mean, i'm a SUPER huge fan... so i was so pleased when my awesome neighbor laura asked me to make her some of these babies for a dinner party she was having... and i didn't want to disappoint her, since she was having some very important guests from the coast guard there... so i put on my baking shoes and got right down to business...the cake is my favorite chocolate cake recipe... it's so simple, it has has the perfect amount of chocolate flavor, it's unbelievably moist (oh, and by the way, i HATE the word "moist" (EWW!)... but it works in describing this cake recipe), and it's just awesome! try it, i'm telling you... you will not be disappointed!
the butter cream was infused with some coffee liqueur and some finely ground espresso beans... and it was totally amazing... and for the finale i topped them with some homemade salt caramel, dark chocolate shavings, and some yummy sea salt...
happy baking everyone!
