I started with a Devil's Food cake mix, some dark chocolate frosting and a jar of seedless raspberry fruit spread. I mixed the cake mix up according to directions and then I put the batter in the pans.
Check out the fancy new countertops. When the oven was ready I baked the cake and then when it was done I took it out and let it cool for a few hours.
After a few anxious moments getting the cakes out of the pans I began the next phase. I put the best of the cakes, that would be the one that did not have a little piece broken off, on the bottom and then I spread the fruit spread on top. Then I gingerly laid the other cake on top, worked the little broken piece in, and I frosted it in place. Then I frosted the rest of the cake. And taa daa, here's how it turned out:
Not the most beautiful cake in the world but it will be tasty nonetheless. We'll cut it later after we get back from dinner out and maybe we'll watch the DVD copy of The Door in the Floor I got her for her birthday, or perhaps she'll read the new David Sedaris book I got her while I incessantly change the channels on TV until The Daily Show comes on or until I decide to start watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO On Demand.
