My latest 'baby'

So my dear friend Frances is expecting, and awaiting the arrival of her little bundle, Jelly Bean. Meanwhile, I am far from bearing offspring and my version of nesting is being in the kitchen and churning out sweet goodies and savory treats. My latest 'baby' is the cake above, the Chocolate Cake with Fleur de Sel Caramel Filling & Dark Chocolate Ganache by David Lawrence only my version has none of the posh french salt—just a few pinches of good old iodized salt—but everything else is to the letter. It took me three-plus hours to make: from the the caramel filling (which is already excellent by itself), chocolate cakes (two layers), frosting (a dark chocolate ganache), and I must say it was well worth it.

Sharing this happy mound of chocolate-caramel goodness to the world! And I'm so not the type to keep recipes secret, click HERE to view the video from GoodBite.com, a site a stumbled upon last year while looking for caramel and custard fillings online. It's about four minutes long, but the actual cake takes much, much longer to make. That's not to say you won't have fun with it :)
