Breadpudding... is a very simple to bake. As a change, instead of using raisins, I used apple. Well honestly, I ran out of raisins and I still had many apples need to be eaten. The recipe is very simple, you can eat it warm or cold. It was a success when I added with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of pudding slices, and my guests were satisfied.

Devil's Food Cake

2010-03-21T10:55:00.000-07:00

I made devil's food cupcakes before, but this time I want a real cake. Eventhough I find this cake is a bit too dry, perhaps because I use whipped cream instead of sour cream. But the texture is light, has beautiful dark color and the taste is heavenly delicious. I'm not exaggeratted, but to have rich super delicious chocolate ganache, use a very good quality chocolate.Devil's Food Cake(source:
