So one of my less than fantastic qualities is that I'm extremely forgetful. Not in a I forget to feed my child kind of way, but more like I make a grocery list and then forget to take it with me, or I tell myself that I need to get gas in the morning then I wake up a 1/2 hour late with an empty tank. But I'm pretty sure it's the small things that are the most frustrating. I absolutely hate when I've planned to make a certain dessert and forgot to pick up the MAIN ingredient, which is happened so often to me that I've stopped keeping track. Or when I have to make seven trips downstairs to get everything I need fora recipe, instead of remembering everything and going down once.
Where is this post going, you wonder? Well, I you might have noticed, I took a slight hiatus from posts, because of my crazy life, and now that I'm finally back in the groove, I realized how many desserts I've made over the past month that I completely forgot about. And this cake is exhibit A. This was back in early May, when I had two birthday cake orders. One for chocolate, and one for funfetti. Well silly me, made funfetti cake without the funfetti the first time around so I had vanilla cake that needed to be eaten. Then when I made the chocolate cake I got it in my mind that I wanted to make a black and white cake with the leftover vanilla and that is how this cake was born.
This cake is really pretty and simple (two adjectives that I love!) I used a simple Chocolate Buttercream to ice and did a small border around the top to complete the look. Now don't think you can eat a slice of this yourself, even if you do cut it thin. It is definitely a dessert to be shared! I hope you try it out, everyone will be so impressed by the height alone.
