for a sweet craving...



Yesterday I made dulce de leche by boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk (see yesterday's post on "Banoffee" for the specific recipe. Well I boiled two cans, instead of one and thought it'd be fun to try on chocolate cake :) Ahhh summer...how I will miss you when you're gone and can't make random chocolate cakes in the afternoon.

So thanks Food Network for the below recipe! I made the following changes: I didn't have Dutch process cocoa so I just used regular (which apparently there are some chemical reasons for the recipes calling for it :/), Cloves & a little Cinnamon instead of cardamom, no currents or chocolate chunks, and instead of instant espresso (which NO ONE should ever buy or have)- I put in actually grinds. Which I now realize wasn't what they intended and I should have made espresso with my Aeropress and added that to the cocoa. WOOPS. We'll see how it is...
