Cake: While in Morocco earlier this month, I was introduced to the best cake ever- Ghiradelli's Devil's Food Cake with Mocha Buttercream Frosting. Yumm. The cake was so delicious- dense, not not too heavy, not dry at all, and with the perfect amount of chocolate goodness. Now I'm not normally a mocha fan, but the frosting complemented the cake so well, I didn't mind one bit that there was coffee involved. When I got home I HAD to try to reproduce the cake. So last weekend Drew and I gave it our best shot. While the cake we produced was delicious, it wasn't quite the same. We followed the instructions on the website exactly so I am not exactly sure what the deal was. One thing we did notice was that it tasted better the second day. Go figure! I plan to contact the person who made the origianl cake in Morocco to see if she took any short cuts or made any special additions and then will try this cake again. :)
Date: We also went on a date this past weekend- to see and take a tour of the Gamble House in Pasadena, an old craftsman beauty. It was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon.
