Chocolate Wasted Cake

Chocolate Wasted Cake
Ever since my brother started using the phrase "I wanna get chocolate wasted" from the movie Grown Ups I've been wanting to make this cake for his birthday. Being a chocoholic myself, I had no trouble coming up with ways to fill this cake with layer upon layer of chocolatey goodness. Just looking at this cake, I think you'll agree that it definitely deserves its name. Photo Credit: Ryan Rivera To create this chocolate beauty, I baked two layers of delicious chocolate cake. Then, I drizzled each cake layer with some Kahlua. Then, I completely covered the sides of the cake with Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips. Next, I topped the cake with an assortment of chocolate candies. Last, I drizzled some melted chocolate all over the cake. I hope this cake inspires you to create your own chocolate wasted cake. Special thanks to Jef at My Food Geek for sharing some food photography tips with me recently. liqueur for drizzling on the cake layers (i.e. chocolate, coffee or almond)

Fruit Roll-Ups Don’t let the word “fruit” fool you, this is not a recipe for healthy, high fiber new age fruit leather. If you want full-fiber, no sugar added fruit snack, this recipe will probably crush your soul. No fiber, loads of added sugar, corn syrup and fat. This isn’t a health food, it’s something way more fun: dessert. I’ve railed about the difference between the Fruit Roll-Ups of our childhood and the pragmatic fruit leather of adulthood on Serious Eats, so I won’t get into it here. But the key differences: perfect smoothness unadulterated by seeds or skins and an intensely fruity, sweet taste.

The Sweet Art: Nutella Cream Puffs I was sixteen years old and visiting a friend in Toronto when I had my first taste of the famous chocolate-hazelnut spread, Nutella. We snuck down to the kitchen at three in the morning and made some toast, with Nutella sandwiched between them. I still remember the gooey chocolate spread oozing out from the warm bread, leaving the most delicious aroma in the air. The best part was definitely getting to lick the rest off my fingers. To this day, it’s still my favorite way to eat Nutella (mixing some peanut butter is simply the icing on the cake, so to speak).

Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with water and buttermilk, beating on low speed until just combined; scape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
