6.13.10 Easy Chocolate Cake


We had a potluck dinner at our apartment the other day. Mallory and I had Brandon, Megan, Emily over for the dinner, as well as Ghis, Mallory's friend. Brandon brought lasagna which was super good, Megan made a drink out of bourbon and milk that ended up tasting like egg nog, Mallory made garlic bread, Ghis made kamaboko dip, and I made a salad and dessert.

The recipe for this cake actually called for a chocolate glaze, but I opted for a cream cheese icing with chocolate chips because my guests couldn't decide between chocolate and cream cheese. I used the cream cheese icing recipe from the carrot cake. The chocolate cake came out dense and really chocolatey, so the icing balanced the cake out. Overall, everyone seemed happy and satisfied so I guess everything turned out fine.

Next time:
try out chocolate glaze.
