Cakeness

I made a Double Chocolate Torte for Ryan's birthday yesterday. I made it ahead on Saturday night, and it turned out wonderful! The bottom half is a dense, dark, chocolaty cake (minimal flour), and the top half is a smooth mousse. It's a great do-ahead dessert that isn't necessarily "quick" but is worth the multiple steps involved.

Your cakes always look so yummy and the recipes always seem so complex!

Alicia... glad that it turned out well for you. I just made it last weekend for mother's day and birthdays. I also made a raspberry coulis to set the cake on, and garnished with a chocolate espresso sauce. Really, really good!
