how amazing it was

I’m not going to waste any time with idle chit chat and get right to this cake associate degree.  This glorious, decadent, beautiful cake that changed my life. Just to let you know, this is a reblog from 2009.  I never felt like this cake got circulated enough, and now that Pinterest exists I want to give it another chance on the Internet nu skin hk.  I made this cake a lot that year, then I moved on to other things.  But this past Thanksgiving Eve, I decided that my two pecan pies just wouldn’t be enough, so I made this cake at the last minute.  I had forgotten how amazing it was.

I would say this is probably my favorite cake.  Like maybe for all time.  The peanut butter meringue frosting is like no other I’ve ever tasted.  Spoonfuls are devoured when I make this cake.  I pretty much make myself sick.  The chocolate layers are extremely moist, and in between the layers there are crunchy little toffee bits and caramel drizzle.  It has everything I want in cake.  No wait.  Maybe one day I will make the middle layer a cheesecake layer.  But until then, this will do nicely一程多站旅遊.

This isn’t my recipe, but was given to me by a sweet cooking friend.  She won first place at her state fair with it.  Of course she did.

This probably isn’t for novice bakers.  The cake part is easy, but the icing can be a little tricky.  But if you follow the directions, it should turn out great.  I have made it many, many times and only had one fail with the icing. ( I didn’t let my meringue cool enough and when I added the butter. It melted and turned grainy. )
