Tomorrow is my son's birthday and he put in a special request for a homemade cake. Yes a all made from scratch Chocolate cake with Peanut Butter frosting and Chocolate ganache. It's a deliciously rich cake that I only make for special occasions.

But this is what you do when you want a really good cake!

I'll try to remember to get a shot of the cake when it's cut.
 
Man that is enough cake for a year right there! Looks extremely rich. Would put a diabetic into insulin shock. But it looks good.
 
Thanks all!

We cut the cake today and it was rich, decadent and delicious. Got to have a tall ice cold glass of milk right beside it though. :D :P :P
Most importantly my son loved it. Oh, everyone else did too.

It's a good thing I only make this once or twice a year.

Dang seem to have missed this one on the first pass. Looks mighty tasty and artistic. Sure would be good night now with a big glass of cold milk.
