Chocolate Tweed Angel Food Cake

This cake was supposed to be my son's 2nd birthday cake for the birthday that was supposed to happen

Tortas de las Tres Leches

Eat your heart out ShamWow!  There is a new super-absorbent material on the block -- Biscuit de Savoie!  This cake is amazing and the next time I have a disastrous spill in the kitchen, I can pull my 1st attempt out of the freezer to the rescue.  That sort of sums up my relationship with sponge cakes. 

Whipped Cream Cake

I am feeling a little guilty about this post.  The Whipped Cream Cake from RHC is the first cake I made from the book....waaay back in September.  This is a simple, easy, and delicious cake that makes for a great way to use up that extra whipped cream sitting in the fridge.  It is also my favourite photo from RHC.  I don't have any great recollections of what I did...only that it was simple (but I didn't have high butterfat cream...infact...the best I can get here is 36% ...although I can get Creme Fraiche which is 40%...perhaps an interesting experiment in the future??)  Regardless the cake turned out and I took it to a mommy party and served it with raspberry curd that I made as a test for the wedding cake I was working on, and it was a hit!
