At last, the coveted cover cake, that has been taunting us all these months has made it to ovens and plates across the blogosphere. Stephanie from Confessions of a City Eater finally chose this cake for the Tuesdays with Dorie group this week. I made it for a dinner with our friends Emily and Jeff. I found the cake part to be very good if a little sweet ( i enjoyed the mini chocolate chips in it). I am a big fan of chocolate cakes such as this one, made with hot water, which create a moist moist cake. However, I am not a fan of italian meringue, which is the frosting for this cake. Just a little too sweet as a combo. It makes a pretty cake though, and the idea of putting cake crumbs on the outside is tasty and novel. Check out Stephanie's blog for the recipe!

I loved the cake crumb part. I think your cake looks great. I won't make this one again...to time consuming.
Glad you enjoyed the cake, even though the frosting was too sweet. It was a lot of fun to make!
Yes, I didn't like the meringue, either, but the cake was delicious! Great job!
That looks darn good, woman.
Hook me up with a slice!
I am making mine tonight. :)
Your cake looks lovely. I enjoyed the cake part, too, and had a hard time not eating all the crumbs before they made it on the cake!
Cake looks great. Very pretty. IT was pretty sweet, but I loved the frosting.
Oh, looks great! Just like the cover!
I love sweet things, and once it lost the strange taste it had on the first day, I loved this frosting!
