CoW: Drape Yourself in Velvet

It's not "C" for Cookie this week (even though cookie, cookie, cookie starts with "c"!) it's Cake! Chocolate velvet cake to be exact.

First you grab two 9" round cakes.



These are cake mix cakes. Sue me, it was a work-night.

You whip up 3 ozs. of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of cocoa, 2/3 of a cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and two cups of heavy whipping cream (cream the cheese, cocoa and milk together first and then gradually add the sugar and whipping cream).



I could eat that stuff between two slices of bread--yum!

Next slice both your cakes in half horizontally.



Then layer it baby, layer it!



But when it's done it's going to seem kind of naked.



Ah ha! Everything looks better with ganache!



Mmm...slice, sit back and enjoy another year of life.
