Hot Cocoa Inspired Triple Layer Chocolate Cake!!! (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

in food •  7 years ago 

Okay, my chocolate obsession is showing again. I’m serious you guys, I think at least 85%, if not more, of the baking I do includes chocolate.

It’s something that can’t be helped. You just have to learn to go with it, so I have. The day I made this cake I was in the mood to make something majorly chocolate.

I have to tell you that this was somewhat inspired by my excitement for the holidays coming up on us in the near future. I know we have to get thought the end of the summer festivities first, and this is absolutely perfect for that with its campfire-y s'mores vibe going on. However, I love my Christmas time and all the movies that we all watch like The Polar Express. It has got to be near the top of my list of faves.

I had this idea that I was really excited about . I thought it would be cool to make a cake inspired by everyone’s favorite cold-weather drink, Hot chocolate! Come on, you know there’s nothing better than warming up with a big, fat, steaming cup of dark hot cocoa on a chilly autumn day. So now we can all save this recipe for a few weeks from now when it starts cooling off.........or you can make it right now because chocolate is good anytime!

It seems like, if the love of hot cocoa makes everyone so happy then it should be able to be expressed in cake form.

My brother heard my idea and said that I should frost the whole thing to look exactly like a mug of cocoa, with a handle and everything. Unfortunately, as much as I thought that his idea was genius and wanted to do it I just didn't have the right things yet with our recent move and stuff.

This cake was so much fun to make! My favorite part was that it had a slight jiggle to it from the layers of marshmallows. You have to try it!

You are one of the top 5 foodies on Steemit, my friend. Keep 'em coming...

Someday, I'll share a recipe here and the photos won't look 1/100 as good as yours do.

Awe, so nice. I bet your post will be awesome @daveandewalle

Just shared it @yukimaru! Thank you so much.

Wow that was fast! Thanks! :)
(need to type faster next time. xD)

hmm good post @gringalicious
i love dessert

Me too! Thanks!

Seriously, this food porn should be tagged as #nsfw. Now I cannot concentrate on anything else but chocolate cake!! :'(

maybe I should create a fnsfw ( food not safe for work )? You know, just to be considerate to all my steemians - LOL

Or maybe we should just start posting requests under #swfnsfw? (Steemians wanting food not safe for work) To streamline the process, I mean… Then, again, it could be easily confused with Star Wars Fans Not Surrendering Fluffy Waffles… Oh well, it’s not easy to find a good hashtag these days…

Que delicia, soy fanática del chocolate, lo amooo, espero esa fabulosa receta, @gringalicious
