Heavenly Cake Baker Submission #42
I have always loved Rose’s photo of this cake; the presentation is awe inspiring. The ruffled piping that seamlessly blends to become part of the perfectly smooth frosting. My mousseline didn’t get there volume and texture-wise, but that’s OK. ( I may have to breakdown and buy a mixer, but it won’t be a KitchenAid; they run over $700 here.) The flavor of the mousseline was still delicious even if it wasn’t so pretty to look at, and this is without a doubt the best chocolate cake in this cookbook. Let me tell you about it.
The batter includes both dark chocolate and cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor. I don’t know if it was the oil or buttermilk that made this cake different than the other Heavenly Cakes, but the result is a moist, fudge-y texture. I will make it again. . . and again.

The mousseline looks really pretty, like softly whipped cream. I think it’s just that it wasn’t what you were looking for that makes you think it didn’t look attractive–it looks nice!
Vicki
Yum! To me it looks delicious.

A good job with the soft buttercream. I do not live the United States either and know what you mean about expensive cooking appliances. We loved the cake.
