Oh my goodness, I have to say, I turned out to be probably the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten in my life! So incredibly moist. I have literally eaten a quarter of it already as I just couldn’t stop myself! I used organic flour, eggs and cacao powder, Polish straciatella buttermilk, and replaced the vegetable oil with half avocado oil and half olive oil. Honestly it’s just amazing!!!Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-56459965792616970712022-08-01T20:02:17.701+01:002022-08-01T20:02:17.701+01:00Thank you!

This will give you that much buttermilk. For two six inch round pans, I would still make the full batter, but fill the pans 2/3 full and bake the remaining batter in a ramekin. You need approximately 2/3 of the batter for six inch pans, and I am just on my way out the door so unable to do the calculations at the moment, sorry! xoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-68171047369203247722021-06-12T10:34:09.818+01:002021-06-12T10:34:09.818+01:00Hi.

The only thing different is the addition of expresso powder in both the cake and icing recipe. What are your thoughts on that? I wonder if it really needs that extra ingredient....?? Also.....is it icing or frosting ? Is there a difference or just a different word for the same thing? I’m going to make this cake real soon. Thank you.

We generally only do single cakes - I've never really adopted the whole layer cake thing. We might split a single cake and do a filling, but never pile one cake on top of the other as it is simply far too much cake for us to eat. <br /><br />Happy birthday, Dan! How lovely that you got a chance to do something like this for him. Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.com
