I loooooove de cake!

So here's how it came out:

The caramel sauce never quite went the right color ("a dark amber") and the whiskey did not in fact erupt in a giant ball of flame (not that I minded THAT), but the taste?? Yea verily, thou shalt pass out from sheer chocolate ecstasy. Now go watch this and say it with me: "Ah luuuuuuuv de cake!"

Still haven't gotten around to making it, but I can totally justify making it as my b-day cake.

Do, do! It's totally birthday-worthy. May I suggest taking the extra step of making your own whipped cream instead of the stuff out of the whiz-can? It really does deserve that final touch of luxury :)

FOOD PRON!

[delphipsmith]

Indeed! It doesn't quite compare with your multiple-course birthday feast extravaganza, but it's still pretty damn tasty ;)

That looks perfectly gorgeous. Would you be willing to share the recipe? I've never really ventured into cake making and would like to try it.

Ohhhh it looks soooooo good *licks lips*

[delphipsmith]

That's exactly the word. And that's how I felt with each and every bite: deliciously decadent :)

Absolutely! It's right here. It was one of ten chosen by Huffington Post in their piece on National Chocolate Cake Day, a day which I can't believe I was previously unaware of, and which I plan to celebrate with great gusto from now on :D

Edit: Note small copy/paste error in their recipe, which caused me a little confusion: "...swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is a dark amber. Add whiskey and carefully cook, swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is a dark amber. Add whiskey and carefully ignite with a kitchen match..."

The phrase "nom nom nom" was invented for things like this...

AWESOME! This looks like something even I (amateur baker that I am) could manage. Thanks so much!!! ♥
