Almond Cake with Dried Fruit

Almond Cake with Dried Fruit by Avanika

Chocolate Overdose Cake

Chocolate Overdose Cake by Avanika

Chocolate Overdose CakeThe cake has a fudgy brownie base, a light layer of mousse, then a layer of cake on top, all drowned in an incredible ganache. The cake was actually so good, I'm considering making it my go-to chocolate cake. It was soft, moist and yet sturdy enough to carry. Plus, it was the first thing the newest addition to…
