Chocolate layer cake
My grandmother and I baked a three-layer chocolate cake today—my first time ever making a cake and frosting from scratch.

It didn't turn out too even, but it was delicious.

(I did, very unusually, ice a cake all over recently; I'm trying to remember what it was. I have a feeling it was the coffee-nut cake, but I can't imagine what I can have iced it *with*, given that I'm almost out of icing sugar. I don't seem to have mentioned it in my blog, but I have dim memories that it may somehow have been 'iced' with a sort of set cornflour custard mixture...!)

I was experimenting with wartime 'cake filling' (which is basically cooked white sauce slightly stiffened and enriched with dried egg and a tablespoon of sugar, and in this case flavoured with instant coffee!)

Here's the recipe we used: https://thestayathomechef.com/the-most-amazing-chocolate-cake/
It wasn't terribly complicated. There was just a lot of everything.

Three nine-inch tiers is certainly a lot of cake!
