Like other TWD-er’s, I was looking forward to making the cover cake of the wonderful book we’re using. It looks so wonderful- but I was in for a surprise skimming through the recipe. Cocoa powder AND chocolate chunks? YES! I was a little disappointed that the frosting is the seven-minute frosting type- marshmallowy and light. I was hoping for something more along the richer, creamier lines. But the cake did not disappoint. Moist and chocolatey- wonderful. I would like to try it with a different frosting, though.
I halved the recipe and made it in a 6″ pan. One of the layers wasn’t thick enough to split in two, so there aren’t any crumbs on the outside. Check out Stephanie’s blog for the recipe!

Your cake looks lovely even without the crumbs! I agree with your assessment of the frosting – I was a little disappointed too. The cake was great though!
It looks like your cakes tured out beautifilly even without the crumbs! 🙂 A thick creamy frosting would probably be great with this!
It looks so pure without all of the crumbs.I think this cake would be great with a heavy chocolate icing as well!
I like it without the crumbs. It looks so fresh and breezy. It is harder to NOT get crumbs on white. I think your cake looks scrumptious.
Looks fabulous in the pictures. Next time, I would definitely try a different frosting, for sure!
it looks like a snowy dream :)well done!
Your cake looks wonderful. I love the look of the plain white too.
Your cake is so cute! I think it is so versatile…crumbs, no crumbs, big, small, etc.
