I should have made the slices larger.<br /><br />elizabeth - I'm really looking forward to making this again.<br /><br />Michele - I think I've converted him into a lover of dessert. Before me, he didn't do cakes and such so much. I'm a terrible influence :)<br /><br />carolyn - I must confess that we also had a few donuts and pastries in the house. That kept us in check :)<br /><br />M. - Chocolate is one of my addictions as well. I felt like a junky the entire time the cake was in the house. Nervous and anxious for the next piece.<br /><br />laura - Thank you... 1 stick melted butter. 3 cups powdered sugar. 2/3 cup cocoa powder. 1/3 cup milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. It was amazing.<br /><br />Frog Hollow Farm Girl - I would check your cupcakes. It's amazing how long some things last. The power of butter and sugar!<br /><br />nancy - Thanks Nancy. I really think it must have been all that sugar that preserved the cake so well :)<br /><br />Denise - Vanessa's almond cake is on my list. Thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />redmenace - Giving them away is nice. I should do that with the batch of brownies I made last night...<br /><br />Nicolette - :) I was thinking of putting more cherries, but stopped at just the one. One felt just right.<br /><br />magda - It was the best chocolate cake to ever come out our kitchen. Dangerous having something so good in one's arsenal.<br /><br />rachel - Thanks, R. It felt like a cherry on top sort of cake :)Tracyhttp://amusebouchefortwo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143171148754639501.post-61692811537527915062010-07-15T06:36:04.851-04:002010-07-15T06:36:04.851-04:00I missed you.

So funny, I've been watching and wondering about the coconut cupcakes sitting under a cake dome on my counter since Saturday - I usually send the 'extras' into the office with FHFB so we don't end up eating them all.
