Homage to Jenboo
Well, sort of. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenboo is well known here for her many bakings of the fabulous Guinness Chocolate Cake. My b-day fast approacheth, so I've followed this recipe to the letter (something I rarely do, but felt it wise in this case) and made said cake. Instead of layering the three 9" rounds, I've decided to split them and fill and frost each a wee bit differently. I did the homemade raspberry jam-filled one with loganberry-chocolate ganache yesterday. Tonight it's chocolate and almond first, and then chocolate and kahluah since I have some amazingly smooth kaluah that I made and then forgot about under the stairs for five-plus years. I'm having too much fun. I haven't baked anything but scones in ages, and this is a nifty change.
