Black & White Cake with Ganache and SB frosting.

I am late but

better late than not baked!

from the full recipe

I had six doughnuts (in this order)

one medium oval cake

a dozen cupcakes

While the cake part of the Black n White was great

the buttercream and ganache were not happening

for me... see below - buttercream was soupy

and ganache never thicken  ;(
but these doughnuts were delish
(trust me - I ate them between 2.30am to 9am!)

I love the size and crumb texture of the doughnut cakes

better than the cupcake forms...

for the recipe for the Black n White cake

by Julie Richardson in her cake book

titled: Vintage Cakes

please visit Grace's blog HERE!

Above:

as the SB was not working out for me (2nd time also flop) I went

for a non-egg white butter cream from

 Savory Sweet Life's buttercream recipe HERE!

 I made half the recipe and added cocoa powder to

a third of the buttercream thus still getting

a two tone effect

I LOVE THE CHOCOLATE CAKE part of this month's bake

but will not be using the buttercream recipe anytime again... ;(

Above: see I am practising! Needs lots of practise!
