Life in the kitchen was interrupted by a visit from this guy:
But back to the story of the cake. When we last left it there were two layers of yellow cake, nearly 5cm high. They needed to be dressed up and what better to do it than chocolate frosting? The frosting was a new recipe for this chef, based on sour cream, not butter or sugar. To 2.25cups of sour cream, 15oz of melted, yet cooled, chocolate chips were added. And .25cups of corn syrup.
This was chilled a little to make it stiffer, and then it was time to ice the cake.
And since it was a birthday cake, it definitely need a few sprinkles!
Reviews were good, although this chef prefers a sweeter frosting...
