    I thought it looked like mousse and fudge, and was wondering if you still had never baked. 😅 I did verify though that’s exactly how it’s supposed to look, and it really does look absolutely decadent. Mousse instead of frosting is a brilliant idea. Fantastic work.

    Did you include the bourbon brown butter? 🤤

    If this is your first, I can only imagine how amazing your next cakes will be!! Awesome job

    At first I was like “Yeah after 150 hours you will have plenty of experience”, then I looked and have never heard of this type of cake before. Will be attempting soon.

    Looks amazing. How much did you spend on ingredients?

  10. Slight-Reindeer-265

    What recipe did you use? That looks amazing!

    It almost looks like the cake from ‘Matilda’ omg

    150 hours seems a lot for a cake.

    wtf did you do? bake 20 versions of it?

    I’m actually foaming at the mouth jealous of you rn 😂

    This looks magazine worthy incredible!!

    Hey man, chin up. This time it took you 150 hours but with some practice you may be able to bake a cake in less than 5.

    Perfect layers. I need a slice of that

    I love when people with no experience go out and do the most extravagant version of that thing. Kudos, I’d eat that.

    Congratulations on your first cake! That looks awesome for someone who has never baked a cake before (and even for someone who has). I saw a couple comments from you that the cake was underwhelming for the amount of effort and time you put into it. Just wanted to suggest an alternate recipe for you to try if you decide to make another one: https://www.canadianliving.com/food/baking-and-desserts/recipe/the-ultimate-chocolate-layer-cake

    This is a recipe I’ve been using for years out of their cookbook and it is super tasty with a low barrier to entry. I make this for a lot of birthdays and it’s always a hit, though it is definitely rich!

    Well now you can check having baked a proper cake off your list. This looks delicious and incredibly rich in a good way.

    Add some growth rings and you’ve got yourself a stump

    wow!!! that cake looks insane (in the best way) and like it was absolutely worth every one of those 150 hours! 🍰🔥👏

  31. cbih

    The highest compliment I can offer is that it looks as delicious as the cake in Matilda

  32. Ok_Culture_1914

    I could just do with a piece of that to go with my mug of coffee 😋 ☕️
