I made a really yummy cake to celebrate the fact that everyone was going to be home for the weekend. Cameron and Caleb quite successfully completed their first and third years at the University of Iowa. We are so proud of them!
Cameron will be managing our local pool for the summer, so he’s home for a while. Caleb has a job in Iowa City so he just came home for the weekend. We enjoyed having everyone here for that brief time.
In celebration, this is the cake I made.
I simply made a double layer 9 inch chocolate cake following the recipe on the box (I also added a cup or so of chocolate chips into the batter, just because I could) After the layers were baked, I cooled them, and stacked them together with a layer of frosting in the middle. I frosted the entire cake with chocolate frosting. Then, I just covered the outside of the cake with mini Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Is it ok to admit that I even impressed myself with this cake? It was SO easy, and oh. my. goodness. Was it ever delicious???? Yes, is the answer!
Ron felt that he had an entire year’s worth of chocolate with just one serving. Others of us…not so much, LOL. It was (obviously) VERY, very rich. But amazing.
Try it for your next celebration. You won’t regret it!
