Cake!
We love cake!
Especially with ice cream!
And this cake was perfect for ice cream. Why? You need a reason besides the fact it is CAKE??
What you are looking at is a little mini taste of yum!! A white sponge cake with four layers of cake and three layers of filling.
There are two layers of Chocolate Mousee filling and one of White Chocolate Whipped Cream. The same whipped cream that frosts the cake.
The Chocolate Mousse was TDF – To Die For!!! I have, eh, had some left over and it was great just by itself. The white chocolate was barely discernable but was there. {Which was fine with NANCY!!}. Nancy and I started this together about 10 days ago, but life got in the way so I had to put the cake layers in the freezer. I made 1/2 of the cake recipe, 1/2 of the chocolate mousse, and the complete white chocolate filling. Past experience has taught me to make more frosing than you think you need. The cake was made in Wilton’s oval pans (8″ x 5 1/2″)so 1/2 of the cake gave me two small layers which I cut into two pieces and had 1/2 of a 1/2 of a cake!!
This pick was originally from February 5, 208 and was chosen by April of Abby’s Sweets. You can find the recipe on April’s blog or on page 258 of Dorie’s Baking from My Home to Yours.

AND on February 12, 2008, the Bakers made…..
…hosted by Jaime of Good Eats and Sweet Treats . This is the creamiest cheesecake I have ever had. And lightly flavored with apple cider it is a definite keeper.
What you have is a Gingersnap crust {I used Le Petit Beurre because that is the only cookie I had in the house.}with a layer of cheesecake covered with a layer of caramelized apples and topped with another layer of cheesecake. **SIGH** Thank goodness I only made a small 5″ cheesecake because I know I would just sit and eat the whole thing!!!
Yes, it IS that good!! And THEN I decided it needed something else so I added a small amount of caramelized cinnamon apples on the top!!
You can find the recipe on Jaime’s blog. Go there! NOW!!
Check out Nancy’s and Leslie’s CheesseCakes. They are also doing the catch-up on TWD.

Happy V-day!

Oh so beautiful! They both look delicious. I haven’t tried either of those recipes yet and can’t wait. That cheesecake looks especially tempting, perfect autumn show stopper dessert, I’d say! So fun to catch up on all these recipes

Wow, these both look so good! I wish we still had some cheesecake left (though it’s probably just as well!)

Talk about gilding the lily! Both of your cakes look great, especially that cheesecake with the fancy apples on top!! Have linked to your post.

It’s cake week! Those both look really good…what fun to get to make cakes…I hardly ever get to make cakes, so it is always fun to see when you make them and present them like you do.

OH MY! These both look spectacular!!!! Nicely done!

Wow, what can I say! These both look stunning. I am yet to try the cheesecake recipe, but how can you go wrong with apple and brown sugar?

Oh my word, the frosting on the outside of your cake – I seriously want to take a spoon to it and start eating
Just gorgeous!

I should really make the cheesecake again. It was my first week with TWD, and I haven’t made it since. I still haven’t made the cake, so I need to put it on my list, too.

Oops, forgot to say, both look delicious!

OMG! What a beautiful job you did on both of these cakes. Love the layers in the first one. And the brown sugar apple cheesecake looks so delicious. I don’t think I have ever had a cheesecake like that one before.
