I'd never made a layer cake before this weekend. I know, as much as I love baking and cooking, I'd managed to go 25 years without ever having to use two pans for a cake - crazy! But my friend Mel's birthday was this week, and I couldn't let her have a supermarket cake...
(And I only used that hideous fall leaves plate because it was plastic, and I was bringing this to a bar... I didn't want to carry something nice with me.)
So I don't mean to toot my own horn ("I'm not a tooter"), but this was a fantastic cake. The recipe was easy to follow, and the ingredients weren't expensive (especially when you know that the Pound Plus chocolate bars at Trader Joe's are really Callebaut brand). The cake stayed moist, and the frosting was to die for. This recipe's definitely a keeper...

Omg I'm hungry. I forgot a birthday cake this year, because I was moving... that sounds like a pretty good reason to go get one this weekend!
I'd bake you one of these if I thought it would ship alright...
