TCS ~ Last Cake From Vintage Cakes by Julie Richardson

We at
(above: do drop by for a visit!)
***
baked our last cake from
Currently Baking From:
Vintage Cakes by Julie Richardson
I love love this particular cakebook
and am sorry that we are baking our last cake from it
because its our last cake, we get to bake any cake 
we like from the book
it will be fun to see what my fellow members at TCS are baking!
***
here's mine 
~ Jam Cake with Caramel Chocolate Ganache ~
pages 103 and 147

jam used was strawberry
 
 
below: 
originally I wanted to bake a cake which looks like this
 
but I read the ingredients wrongly 
that recipe called for cocoa powder
but I really want to use up my chocolate chips
** I make the whole recipe, fill up a 9" x 14" sheet pan,
and two small round pans **
so in the end I did have a sheet pan cake!
**the only problem I have with Vintage Cakes was...
I have no luck with most of the frosting recipes..... :(((((

Your cake turned out lovely, the frosting looks mouth watering! The almonds I bet make a nice garnish.

Emily...this cake looks divine! Square or round! The strawberry jam and chocolate make a wonderful combination!

Your cake looks grrrr-eat!

Very serendipitous. I just finished baking a bundt version of the jam cake tonight. The aroma of baking cake is a beautiful thing isn't it?

I thought this cake looked very interesting, and I almost made it too. But decided on a different cake. Yours turned out lovely and that chocolate frosting looks scrumptious! :)

Stacie said...

So pretty and I bet that combination of flavors is to die for.

Great adaptation! This cake is also one that I intend to make from this book. I hope mine turns out as pretty as yours.
