See, we had all of these eggs that were about to expire. Eggs and oranges nobody was eating. I try so hard not to throw away food, so I had to come up with something. So I thought I could make some orange curd. And then I started thinking of what we would eat with the curd. And I thought chocolate cake sounded pretty delicious.
I'd been thinking about it for a day or two, thinking I could hold off until Mother's Day weekend for such a special cake. And then I realized that this weekend isn't Mother's Day and I can't wait ten more days for this cake. So I made a Chocolate Orange Curd Cake on a Wednesday for no good reason.
Dinner needed to be easy since the cake took most of the day to make and babies can't be neglected for cooking all day long. It was so easy and good.
Roasted Cod and Peas. Super Easy. Like preheating the oven took longer than making the dinner easy. And really good, too. That is my kind of meal!
And then there was cake.
I'm super proud of this cake. Doesn't it look good?
Usually when I make a layer it cake it ends up looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or an up-side-down bowl with too much filling in the middle, or it is naked on the sides because I run out of frosting.
But this cake, this is perfect.
I read a tutorial on assembling layer cakes. Two, actually. And I made extra frosting and extra curd just in case. We are going to have cranberry muffins with the leftover curd tomorrow for breakfast.
I had cake for breakfast this morning. I'm not going to lie; it was really, really good.
