Brooklyn Blackout Cake

Brooklyn Blackout Cake

At work, we celebrate birthdays on a monthly basis. With twenty people in our department, this means I have a monthly excuse to try out new cake recipes. This month’s cake was a definite keeper. Moist chocolate layer cake with chocolate pudding between layers, and a fluffy chocolate buttercream frosting all around. I’m also having a lot of fun working on my cake decorating skills!

This blackout cake recipe comes from The Cake Book by Tish Boyle, which is turning out to be a great source for delicious, reliable cake recipes. I made this extra decadent by using Ghirardelli cocoa powder for the cake, Callebaut bittersweet chocolate for the pudding, and Callebaut unsweetened chocolate for the frosting.

Oh, I’d love to have the recipe. Are you sharing? I too bake cakes for my coworker’s birthdays and I have a chocolate-lover celebrating her 50th in a couple of weeks! This looks perfect for her. Thanks.
