POUND AWAY, POUND AWAY… It’s the Mocha Chocolate Chip Pound Cake
My vote for an everyday/on-the-go cake goes to the Pound Cake!! Its the one cake that can eaten without frosting, or then spruced up with a ganache or drizzled with chocolate...whatever!! Sturdy enough to go for a picnic, and can be fiddled around with to suit your tastebuds.

Soothing Blue and Green Cake …my canvas!!
” Happy and successful cooking doesn’t rely only on know-how; it comes from the heart, makes great demands on the palate and needs enthusiasm and a deep love of food to bring it to life. “ …. Georges Blanc, Ma Cuisine des Saisons Here’s one I did for my Dad’s birthday. I ran out of ideas, was just browsing around, and saw this design on some linen. My love for the blue-green combo reflects in this cake. The basic cake is from the Hershey’s Chocolate Cake recipe from their website, and the icing is of whipped cream with vanilla essence and sugar. Posted by Deeba @ PAB
