A friend of mine here has this word...for things that are really good. I did get a little chuckle when I heard her use it for the first time...mouthgasmic. You know when you bite into something and you are making all those...well sounds. Hmmm, Ohhhh, Hmmm this is so good. And you go on and on, you know. When you have a mouthgasm.
So, my Mom (while she was laid up at home) started watching Martha Stewart again. She kept blabbing about how much she was enjoying her show. So I said, if she is enjoying that show so darn much, I best be DVRing that thing. So, I did. One of the first days I tuned in Ben Ford (Harrison's son, who is a chef with his very own restaurant in CA) was on. He made this delightful little chocolate cake.
Do you like chocolate cake like I like chocolate cake? There is cake, that I don't really give a hoot about at all, and then there is MOUTHGASMIC chocolate cake. I made the Ben Ford tasty little morsel chocolate cake tonight for our Valentine's celebration. I think as I was eating that cake Scott may or may not have given me a funny look. It was so good that I thought I best share with all of ya'all. (I am headed back to Texas, so I better get the ya'alls going haha)
Find recipe here. **Note** I did not add peppermint anywhere to this cake. Since I didn't add the peppermint candy to the topping, I added a little bit extra sugar.
It looks divine. Couple of questions-- dark and sweet chocolate solid and not powder, right? Also, what is mascarpone cheese?
