Who Wants Cake?

Yes, another post about delicious food. With the advent of a hectic work schedule (which is not a complaint; I'm happy for the opportunities) I've had little time to pursue pleasure outside of the delicious treats that Brandon has prepared. Wednesday was Brandon's birthday, and to celebrate, he made a fantabulous cake. Behold:




This recipe comes straight off the Hershey's cocoa tin. It's a dense, moist chocolate cake, and Brandon decided to enhance the flavor by adding a peanut butter filling in between the two layers. As peanut butter and chocolate is one of the best flavor combinations in the world, needless to say I was in heaven. The frosting was the Perfectly Chocolate frosting recipe, also found on the container.


I am amazed that any of the cake is still around! We've been working our way through it, enjoying polite slices in the evening after work while watching season two of "Mad Men". The simplest pleasures can provide the ultimate satisfaction, and I'm grateful to be temporarily housed in the company of such a delightful gourmand.
