For Administrative Assistants Day, my boss took us to the University Club of Nashville for lunch today. They have a buffet and in the middle of the room was a dessert table.

I had a wonderful piece of chocolate cake and of course you know I had to take a pic for this community!

It was HEAVEN!! Dark chocolate frosting and I guess the cake itself was plain chocolate and there was cream cheese in the middle. It was so moist and delicious!

Guinness Stout Chocolate Layer Cake

If someone makes this, PLEASE post and tell us how it tasted! :)

Kells, the legendary Irish pub in Portland, OR, serves a single-layer version of this cake with whipped cream. Be sure to use Guinness or a similar strong beer as light beer won't impart the same flavor.

Well, the moderator Herself commanded I post this here, so here it is - the recipe for a Flourless Chocolate Cake Of Doom you can make and not feel (terribly) guilty about! This is very rich, very moist and wonderfully dense, so eat it slowly!



Ingredients:

2 tbsp trans-fat free margarine or unsalted butter
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (I used The Dutch Cupboard cocoa powder)
1/2 cup blanched almonds
1/2 cup sugar
3 oz bittersweet chocolate (Go for gold on this item! I used 70% dark Dolfin chocolate.)
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
1/4 cup sugar substitute
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)
5 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tbsp toasted slivered almonds (optional)


( Directions )
