I am trapped under a ton of work...
Chocolate pound cake with seven minute icing does help...
I have to fight all urges to do a complete face plant into this icing!
This is a gluten and dairy free chocolate pound cake. It is dense rich and fudgy. Here's the thing...Tony thinks it needs to be sweeter, but I think it's sweet enough. So, tell me, do you like your cakes to be super sweet or mildly sweet? My sweet tooth may be broken since I don't usually eat sweets other than fruit. I plan to make this one again only sweeter to see how he likes it. Then I will post both versions.
Tell me...really sweet or a little sweet?
even when you are busy, you make delicious food! your family is lucky to have you.

7-Minute icing rules my world. I never have it except for when my mom randomly makes it at home.
ReplyDeleteI think, with pound cakes, it doesn't need to be as sweet as long as there's a glaze/icing to balance it out. Maybe if it were being served without, you could use a lil' more sugar. But you know me... I really do like "sweet". :)
I am seriously making that icing as soon as I get a chance. It always looks so amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good week despite the craziness. I'm just a little sweet ;-)
ReplyDeleteReeeeeally sweet :-) Usually when people say something is too sweet, I think it's just right!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the link to the POUND CAKE recipe?? Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteI've been going less on the sweet side and more on the salty. I've found that when I make chocolate sweet potato pudding, I prefer TONS of salt as opposed to TONS of sweet. There's something about chocolate and salt... maybe add salt to the cake?! Ha! :-)
ReplyDeleteJessica, I haven't posted it yet. I want to try it a little sweeter and then I will post both version so others can decide how sweet they want i!
ReplyDeleteJust a little sweet, because the cake is just the vessel for the icing! Really, just give me a 1-inch high cake, but pile it with 2-inches of that frosting!
ReplyDeleteThere's no such thing as too sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhat cake? I stopped seeing anything else at the icing!! It looks wonderful...I'm more of a frosting person anyway.
ReplyDeleteBut...I like things less sweet in general, including cake!
we like not too sweet things, we find when things are too sweet you do not really taste what the food/dessert is really is, all your taste is sugar ;)

I'd imagine that helps very very much so :)
ReplyDeleteHope your workload lightens up soon, friend!
Oh my gosh that looks SO good!! Hope your workload lightens a bit so you can enjoy the weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to put my face in that icing also. :) My vote is slightly sweet, but still rich ad chocolatey. :) Mmm.... can't wait for the recipe. Hope you're getting through your to do list friend. :)
ReplyDeleteWith awesomeness like that, who needs words? ;)
