Cake
It's time for another round of cakes . Check out the Chocolate Raspberry Layer Cake , Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake , or any of the other cakes in today's post. Enjoy! CLASSIC BIRTHDAY CAKE This is from Alison Roman in The New York Times cooking enewsletter . Alison wrote, "A birthday cake needn't be elaborate. A few layers of tender yellow cake and creamy chocolate frosting will do the trick. In this version of the classic pairing, brown sugar and buttermilk provide a sophisticated flavor to the cake, and sour cream adds a slight tang to the chocolate frosting. It’s worth noting that both the cake and frosting can be made ahead. Just make sure you bring the frosting to room temperature before assembly so that it spreads easily. One note: The buttermilk and brown sugar in the batter means that the cake might appear slightly darker on the outside after baking than your typical yellow cake, but don't worry. The inside will be tender and moist." Yield: 10 to 1
