I had to do it. I had to! It was some kind of biological imperative! (Crossposted from bakebakebake.)


I was able to restrain myself though and only make half a cake - I used my own choc. cake recipe instead of a mix, halved it, and baked in a loaf pan. Then I cut the loaf in half for layering, and halved the ganache. i would up using 1 2 lb bag of reeces minis - half inside, half outside. Yum!



...I actually realized after all was said and done that I'd forgotten to put the shortening in the cake. Luckily it is a really dense moist cake anyway, and especially with the gooey ganache it isn't missed too badly. I also used buttermilk instead of the water it called for, so that probably helped too. I seriously didn't realize until hours after I'd eaten the first piece. I don't even know *why* I thought of it, but it did entertain me that, save for all the pb and cream, it would have practically been a fat free cake ;)

tethys123 is coming home today. She doesn't know it yet, but she is going to help me eat this O_O

Soon, I am going to go in to school and submit stuff to get some money back from my trip. and then I'll come home and start uploading trip pics to facebook.
