Cake Thursday: May 14th

Glorious Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting and Bittersweet Peanut Butter Chocolate Ganache.

A mouthful in many ways.

This proved to be one of the most popular cakes to date. The combination of deep chocolate in the cake, peanut butter, and the bittersweet chocolate that I used in the ganache was brilliant.

Not being a fan of too-sweet frosting, I cut the sugar in the recipe from 5 cups (!) to 2 cups, and had no problems.

Speaking of, the recipe is from the book Sky High, but you can also find it over at Smitten Kitchen.

Made this past weekend...

Homemade frozen yogurt swirled with homemade strawberry preserves.

...and now we have Arnold Palmer, the cake. (Layers of iced-tea cake, lemon mascarpone cream, iced-tea jelly, lemon cake, and some kind of almond crunchy thing. Not for every palate, but I loved it. FYI, they do not serve it in a glass at Momofuku. I was inspired by the cake's inspiration to photograph it in a glass. For a good slice-view, check out this post on Serious Eats NY.)
