Year after year, I try and I try but to no avail.Well, this year I decided it would be the last time I made this cake. It has four layers, three frostings, takes two days to make and assemble, and I would rather make other things. This year I decided, that since it was the last time I make it I would try one last time to make it not in a bowl.
Guess what?
Ta Da!!! I feel I can now retire the Devils Food Layer Cake with Peppermint (and two other) Frosting.
I also made this:
This didn't turn out how the recipe said it would (which I am VERY tired of!). It's from Food Network Magazine. I guess is was ok. I refused to eat it. There are two frostings. One frosting was a chocolate and toffee flavor with chopped, roasted pecans (which I could eat with a spoon) and the top has a chocolate glaze. The chocolate toffee ended up being way more runny than it should have and the glaze was not runny enough. I hear the cake was good.
My favorite part of Thanksgiving, besides being with family and friends, is the mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. They were great!
So, please, next year I would like to go back to the spice cake with cream cheese, toffee frosting and the devils food with mocha frosting. Thank you!
