It was my daughter's birthday the other day and I have baked cakes for three separate celebrations.
The one above was the one we took to school. Of all the chocolate cake recipes I have baked in my life, I would have to say the stout chocolate cake one is the best. Recently I have revised the recipe which uses treacle dissolved in hot water instead of stout which works just as well if not better.
This is a beautiful moist cake and all it needs is some whipped cream with a little bit of acidity from berries.
The second one I made was for the home celebration.
I made a disc of raspberry mousse which was sandwitched by sponge layers.
Please don't ask why I'm not showing a close up photo of it.....
This is the joint birthday cake I made on the weekend for my daughter and her friend who has her birthday in two weeks.
I wish I had just a few more strawberries to complete the line of chocolate dipped berries.
Because the chocolate was stuck on the plate, I could not even rearrange them : (
In a couple of days, I will be baking another birthday cake.
This time it will be for my father in law.
