Story of a Cake Photo Edition

You didn't really think that I wouldn't take photos of the cake, did you?

mmm...melting chocolate and butter. What a great base for a cake.



A little yolk and sugar.

Beating those egg whites into shape!


Fold the egg whites into the chocolate base.

I could totally eat this as is!


It isn't there just yet...

Grating chocolate is tiring.



Almost looking like the photo!


There it is. I plan on adding a touch of fresh whipped cream with a touch of vanilla for garnish instead of the chocolate curls. Also, this is the very same orange plate that I served it on the first time.

  1. Awesome! Now I want chocolate cake. And my favorite color is orange so I of course love that plate.

    1. I've had that plate forever! When I bought it it was the only one in the store and I loved it! I decided that since I could only get the one, it would become the "special plate." I usually only use it when I serve desserts!

    1. A coffee shop cake is always a welcome treat...but surely you could whip one up! And then you get to lick the bowl! YUM!

  4. CAKE! There's nothing better than cake, is there? And, oh yeah, grating chocolate is VERY tiring. I would suggest just eating it out of hand next time!!! ;0

    1. I almost used chocolate chips to avoid the whole grating thing, but I only had milk chocolate chips and the recipe called for semi-sweet. But man oh man do I love that glaze!

    1. It is almost like making meringues so I think this is one recipe that can go eggless! Are you vegan or allergic?

  6. It's like almost midnight right now. But if I had access to cake, I'd eat the whole damn thing right now!!!!

    Hugs!
