Friend of Mine is Quitting His Job He Doesn’t Like for a New Job so I Baked Him A Celebratory Cake
This brown blob is a chocolate cake with peanut butter Swiss meringue buttercream and a chocolate ganache. It was delicious but clearly my cake decorating skills need some work but it tasted phenomenal 😂

Cake recipe:
For the cake: 6 oz unsalted butter 125 grams Hershey’s special dark cocoa 1 shot of espresso (4 oz) 4 oz warm water 8 oz buttermilk 8 oz full fat coconut milk 300 grams light brown sugar 300 grams granulated sugar 3 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 315 grams AP flour 12 grams baking powder 6 grams baking soda 6 grams kosher salt
-Set oven to 350F -Butter and flour 3 8 inch pans -In a medium pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter and sift in the cocoa powder and stir until fully combined -add espresso, water, and both milks to the pot and stir to combine -stir in eggs, sugars, and vanilla and make sure the mixture is completely smooth -turn off stove and set pot aside -combine dry ingredients in a large bowl -pour contents of pot over dry ingredients and whisk to combine -pour into prepared pans and bake for 38-40 minutes
For the chocolate ganache: I just did equal parts heavy cream and semi sweet chocolate to make a ganache and added a pinch of salt. I made this first so it could cool to a spreadable consistency.
Peanut butter Swiss meringue buttercream: (I added an additional cup of peanut butter to this because I was worried the flavor wouldn’t cut through the amount of chocolate in the cake and it worked perfectly)
Your friend is lucky to have a friend like you. That cross section looks very tasty. 😋 I really like how the placard says Good bye job, Hello job.
