The Cracked Chocolate Cake

Chocolate moist cake

turned into a delicious good looking cake. As you have seen in my last post, the moist chocolate cake was so fragile. It cracked a bit that I was mending it so it would hold the icing. I cut the crusty brown top to make it even. Butter icing is the best icing I can make of all my cakes. I tried making the boiled frosting/icing before for decorating my cake but I was not contented. So, butter icing is my go-to icing. It only differs from the flavoring that I use. In this moist chocolate cake, I used Jamaican bourbon vanilla flavor and it always tasted good that even the smell makes me full. I am glad that the guests at the birthday was loving this cake again. They are praising my cake and I am happy about that. I am sorry if I make you droll again.. Anyway, how is/was your weekend? Any news? I didn´t come here yesterday as I was tired. Tomorrow will be a normal day again for me. I hope all is well with you. I am behind with my notifications again but I am doing it. Thanks for reading. Have a nice new week ahead.

So glad you used butter icing and mended the cake. I know it must have been a huge and delicious hit.

I think butter icing is the best for frosting a cake. You can see the photo now @DianneN. It took a while for me to upload it. Thanks and have a nice Sunday there.

You chocolate cake surely looks delicious. I had a good weekend, we went to Italy grocery shopping very early in the morning and then we went for a daily trip to the lake.

@thelme55 We always go shopping at the opening, at least there are only a few customers. We went to the Lake Lugano, it's 8 Km from home.

@LadyDuck Yes, there are only a few people right after the opening of the shop. Lake Lugano is a beautiful lake. I have seen a photo of it online when I was searching for beautiful places.

That´s nice that you had a good weekend @LadyDuck. It is good to shop early in the morning as there are not many people shopping, yet. Which lake did you go to?
