I decided to bake a cake for my mother-in-law for mother's day, and
for my wife too, of course. I would bake my own mother a cake, lest
anyone berate me too soon, but she is on the East coast, and I am on
the West.
I call this cake, my 'Black Rasberry Surprise'. There's a filling
between the two layers made of black raspberry preserves, and the same
preserves baked into the cake. The surprise part is that it's a
chocolate cake under the white icing.
Happy Mother's Day everyone!...especially my mom. Hi mom!
