This cake was for a sweet little girl for her 8th birthday. Her mom provided the horse figurines (wish I could say I sculpted all of them out of modeling chocolate, LOL!). This was such a fun fun cake to create! I love it! The cake is a 3 layer, 9 inch, chocolate cake with mint cream filling.
The chocolate cake recipe is a sour cream chocolate cake that I've made several times. The recipe calls for 5 egg whites beaten to stiff peaks and then folded into the batter. The last time I made it the egg whites deflated when I took it out of the oven and the whole cake shrunk like a nightmare soufflé gone wrong! Yikes! This time around I decided to scrap that step and just add the egg whites (unbeaten) with the rest of the wet ingredients and it turned out fabulous. What a relief, and so much easier!
Hope you like :)
