I was asked by a friend to make her baby shower cake, after she had some of my brother-in-laws cake I made for him. It was layered chocolate and vanilla.
The reason? Because my sister can't have a lot of chocolate and I wanted her feel ok about eating it.
The chocolate cake I got out of the Rebar cookbook. The vanilla, I just googled "fluffy vanilla cake".
I then layered the cakes with a dark chocolate ganche and my mom's homemade raspberry jam.
The results? ...The new mom was pretty pleased, as well as the rest of the crowd.
Oh and of course it's Gluten-free.
