Welcome to Foodie Friday.
This week, the optional theme is cAkEs; but all recipes are welcome.
I made a Very Curly Chocolate Cake for my two sons. Trey's birthday was
May 6th
and
Bandwith's is today, May 7th.
A Very Curly Chocolate Cake
Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Golden cake mix
Duncan Hines Classic Chocolate icing
Pillsbury Creamy Vanilla icing
Hershey’s chocolate bar
marshmallows
Bake cake according to directions. Cool. (I used an angel food pan, because I wanted a neat, little hole for marshmallows. I cut the cake in half.)
On the bottom layer, spread a thick layer of chocolate icing. Next, spread an equally thick layer of vanilla. Stuff marshmallows into the center. Add top layer. Stuff more marshmallows into the center. Ice (I used chocolate).
Shave chocolate curls on top.
Happy Birthday, Trey & Bandwith!
If you are participating this week, add your name and "Foodie Friday" permalink to Mr. Linky. If you have trouble with Mr. Linky, I will try to help, as long as you know that Mr. L scares me more than rats and bees.
I'll come back and see if mr. linky appears for me. I have a variation on cake ....I'm posting the coffee cake kind!
ReplyDeleteYour chocolate curly cake looks wonderful. I love all the curls and swirls!

ReplyDeleteTheres not much better than a yellow cake with chocolate icing..so homey, but you have put a very tasty spin on it! And of course you made it look divine. Thanks for hosting this fun event!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cake, and it sounds sooo easy. I might even be able to accomplish this. I'm definitely going to try! I am in lust for that cake stand! It is absolutely gorgeous! laurie
ReplyDeleteI had all good intentions of joining in today, but forgot to take pics. before the casserole was half eaten. Anyway, I did do a link to your site on my post today.
ReplyDeleteHope your arm is better.
Glenda
That cake looks delicious! And a very Happy Birthday to your boys! Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Boys! The cake is just divine! I just love it! I going to come back and write it all down I would love to have one. OK my post is not really food cooked but it could be! lol I miss visiting everyone! I knew it could not go on Susan's Tablescape Thursday. Then I had the idea, roses are edible and sheep too.
ReplyDeleteOMG, it looks great...I'm so hungry now....hahaha!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Mother's Day!
Happy to be here. I love this theme. As for Mr Linky it has been giving me trouble on my site too. You can follow them on Twitter and get instant updates on the situations.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Delicioso!
ReplyDeleteOh my but I could like the plate on this one! Thanks for hosting and sharing. Happy Mom's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteJoyce
I love the marshmallows inside! A very pretty cake.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Foodie Friday..saw the button on someone's blog and followed it. OMG...I want a piece of that chocolate cake!
ReplyDeleteI'll be back, maybe I will have a post next Friday.
Happy birthday to the boys and Boy, are they lucky to have such a wonderful cake (and mom)!
ReplyDelete* Whew! I guess I JUST made it in time to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to the BOYS in the Gollum House!!! (I WOULD "sing it", but Belle just puts her tail between her legs, howls and then runnnnns off n' hides!!!)~~~
ReplyDelete(Note: My birthday's in July, GiGi... did you know CHOCOLATE CAKES, even those as GORGEOUS as THIS, actually do "VERRRRY well" in the mail?!?! Ha!!!)...
Seriously, not only is that cake FABULOUS & OH-SO-MOUTHWATERING (so how's "The DIET" going these days, girlfriend?), but that STAND is SOOOOO PERRRRTY!!! (And where was THIS "hidden"?)...
Hope you and ALL YOUR BOYS (n' girls!) enjoy the BD festivities, Michael!
Love,
Linda (n' Jim & Belle, too!)
P.S. Did anyone ELSE notice your cake looks like a CROWN? Like as in "fit for a Prince" (or two?!)~~~ XO
ReplyDeleteThat is about the most beautiful cake I have ever seen! It should be on the cover of a cookbook! Linda
ReplyDeleteOh my...that cake looks so good! I wish I had a piece now! I wish I could stick my finger through the screen and taste that frosting! It looks like it's soooo good!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking! Happy birthdays too!
ReplyDeleteSophia
Happy Birthday to your "Boys".. the cake looks downright sinful and am sure it is lo-cal!! lol I've never seen such perfect chocolate curls...mine always seems to break apart!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is a work of art. I so have to join you in this (not much of a cook but will try). Maybe next week.
ReplyDeleteI just made that cake for the Mother's Day party I went to today. Thanks for the great idea! Everyone thinks I am a baking genius!
ReplyDeleteLaura Beth, I hope you stop by to read this. I can't leave a comment on your blog. I'm thinking others are having trouble leaving comments, too. I tried and tried! I loved your coffee cake recipe.
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy that cake looks good!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at chocolate cake! This is so beautiful!!!!! I'll make it this weekend. I'm new to you blog and will be back SOON to figure out how to participate! I love this!!!! Nice to meet you
