Cake 9: Fudge Truffle Cake

I can say this in the past tense for obvious reasons. This cake was GOOD! And it’s already gone. It was smooth and fudgy with a ring of fudge through it. Two layers drizzled over it–one of a confectioner’s sugar glaze and one of semi-sweet chocolate–made it good and pretty and pretty and good. There was disappointment when it only lasted a day and a half. The squabble over the last piece involved a three-way split that shared the joy but didn’t quench the need. I’ll make it again. Soon.

Something about this reminds me of those marvelous Hostess cupcakes. So good out of the refrigerator on a summer day.
