π«π Ed's 70th Birthday Cake ππ«
Ed is a chocolate guy, which means he's automatically my favourite type of person. π
For his birthday, I made a rich double chocolate cake layered with chocolate buttercream. I used strong brewed iced coffee in the cake batter to enhance and deepen the chocolate flavour without making the cake taste like coffee.
And yes, I had to put some berries on top because once you look at this cake on a nutrition chart, there is some guilt involved in each slice. The berries make it basically a health food.
But you know what? You only turn 70 once. That's a pretty big accomplishment, and I was honoured to make him a chocolatey, fudgy, completely over-the-top birthday cake to celebrate it. π€
My nieces gave it a very firm 10/10, so you know it's good.
Happy 70th, Ed! ππ€
