Last Sunday was Tim’s birthday. We had people over for brunch and I made a chocolate cake, my first cake in many years. I served it with a dark chocolate ‘ganache’ (frosting), raspberries and of course, birthday candles!
The cake was nice, not terribly sweet but certainly very chocolaty, especially with the pure dark chocolate and heavy cream frosting. It could have done with some whipped cream or creme fraiche. We made do with single cream poured over the top. I’d like to know how to make a fluffier, “cakier” cake, and Tim has given me permission to experiment. More cakes will go well with all the coffee we’ll be making, thanks to the coffee grinder Tim got for his b-day. I think I’d also like to get good at the vegan baking, but lots of that stuff relies on weird fake butter and margarine. Screw that!
