I love your cake recipes. I have tried most of them. If you make hazelnut and feraro cake recipe I would like to try for my son birthday. Which is in May kindly try to make this favour cake.
Oh that's such a fine looking cake Miryam❤
I love choc mint ice cream too. So I baked a choc mint cake… without a recipe or plan. Except the cake I made green, a thin layer of choc cake between… Total 3 layers with cream frosting between and the outside with choc frosting..and mint chunks on the side. I; of course am humbled by MK's creation. Simply beautiful Maa'shallah ❤
GREAT VIDEO THANKS YOU GOODNESS DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜, AWESOME
What's the best way to chop the chocolate fine? Do you use a grater?
I'd make this but I'd have to change the buttercream. I'm not a fan of ABC. I prefer SMBC. The recipe I use to make mine calls for the same amount of butter so that's not an issue lol. I'm also not a fan of SMBC recipes that have too much butter in them. They always leave a slippery film on my tongue. I do have a request. Have you ever made a Chai flavored SMBC before? I'm dead set on figuring out how to accomplish that but if you already have a recipe I'd love to take a look. I know there's recipes out there for Chai flavored sponges but that's not what I want. It has to be the buttercream but Swiss Meringue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
As usual sure her receipes when you do no fail , I have done most of her receipes, just love it
