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!
Yum! To me it looks delicious.
Your chocolate Miette Tomboy looks soooo moist and delicious in your pictures; YUM!
i like your deconstructed tomboy--the soft buttercream looks very delicious! this was a wonderful chocolate cake, i agree.
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.
GORGEOUS! and the pictures are darn good too!
Makes me want to grab one - two!
