I wish I would have gotten better pictures. I was so frustrated with the cake I just wanted to be done–and then we dug into it…wowsers, was it good. By the time I thought to snap a picture of the sliced cake, there wasn’t much left!
I think my husband deliberately messes up when I ask him to get things at the grocery so that I don’t bother asking anymore. Your cake looks wonderful and hot chocolate buttercream sounds divine.
WOW, hot chocolate buttercream YUM! And we have the same talks over here (so I just go to the store by myself) 🙂 Thanks for participating in this challenge we’ve already had 17,000 hits in one day to the linky party.

The presentation of your cake is beautiful and I love the combination of flavor, it looks delicious. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a wonderful week!

The coffee really gave it a rich flavor. Even if you’re not a coffee fan, you’ll enjoy it in this cake.

hehe What a great story about the hot cocoa mix! Sometimes our best recipes come from little slip-ups like that though. Cake looks great. 🙂
This looks amazing! Definitely bookmarking it 🙂
