This Blog This Blog Tuesday, September 20, 2011 No Clever Title, Just Good Cake I Made A Cake Today! No, It Wasn't This One. I Made This Cake Three Weeks Ago Before Hayden Was Born. I Was Pretty Exhausted And Didn't Think I'd Have Time To Make It, But My Mom Offered To Help So We Did This Together. I'm Pretty Sure She Was Only Interested Because It Was Full Of Booze! Haha! Either Way, I Appreciated Her Help Because She Cleaned Up After Me And Took Over When I Had To Sit And Take Breaks, Which Was Often. It's Amazing How Much Energy A Baby Can Suck Out Of You! :-) Thank You Momma For Helping Me Complete This Month's Cake Slice Cake! This Is The Last Month We Are Baking From Cake Keeper Cakes By Lauren Chattman So Rather Than Everyone Making The Same Cake, We All Got To Choose Which One We Wanted To Bake. It Was Tough Narrowing Down The List Because There Were Many I Was Drooling Over. But In The End I Settled On Mississippi Mud Cake With A Bourbon Espresso Glaze. Despite It Being One Of The Only Cakes Mr. H Wanted, It Was Loaded With Flavor And Full Of Chocolate, Espresso, And Booze. It Really Was A No-brainer. Before I Set Off To Make This, I Remembered That My Dear Friend Debby From A Feast For The Eyes Also Made This Cake. So I Went Back To Read Her Post And She Mentioned That While It Was Good It Could Have Been More Moist So I Made A Subtle Change And Added Some Sour Cream To The Batter. It Was The Perfect Addition To This Cake. It Was Dense, The Espresso Was Obvious But Not Too Strong- Really It Just Intensified The Chocolate Flavor And The Bourbon Shone Through In The Cake And In The Glaze, But It Wasn't Overpowering. It Was The Perfect Trifecta- Like A Kicked Up After Dinner Coffee Drink. Debby Suggested Pouring Some Of That Glaze Over Some Ice Cream And That's Just What I Did. Great Idea.
