33 Variations Birthday Recipe #2 - Mocha Cream Cake
The history:
This is a cake that my grandmother (who I called Mimi), my dad's mother, made for my granddad and thus my father had it while growing up, loved it and then she would make it for him too. So when my folks got married my mother got the recipe so she could make the cake sometimes. In our house growing up, this tended to be made in the month of April - or at least in early spring - for either my dad's birthday or for Easter. This was the recipe my father gave to me for my 33rd Birthday!
Yesterday was the first time I've ever made the cake.
It's a very impressive looking cake and one that's not terribly difficult to make. It has three parts so it does take time, but not too much, and all of the steps are pretty darn easy!
Everyone who ate a piece LOVED it, well my nieces were semi-fans, it's a delicious cake but for young palates it's not necessarily what they'd love. It's not like a chocolate cake, being coffee flavored and all, I gather it's a cake that kids don't always love. Though they both did try it.
*The cake needs to be refrigerated once it is made!
