chocolate peanut butter mosse cake at Sippity Sup

You know the phrase “let them eat cake”? Well here’s a new book from Elinor Klivens that believes it may as well be chocolate cake!

I know. I know. Chocolate. Perhaps the most over discussed topic in the pantry. But this cookbook is more than just another book with chocolate in the title (Amazon lists 11,381 results to the title query ‘chocolate’). Yikes that’s a lot of calories!

Because the truth is this book is not really a book about chocolate. It’s about chocolate as a final product, a very specific and delicious final product– Chocolate Cakes: 50 Great Cakes for Every Occasion (Chronicle Books). It's a book I think you'll enjoy.

The author has had success with this one subject concept before. Her previous books include The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookie Book, and the even more specific– Big Fat Cookies. She’s probably working on the book Crunchy Little Yellow Cookies as we speak.

So there probably is a hungry market ready to eat this book up. But it better be very hungry because 50 chocolate cakes is a lot of cakes– especially because, as the title suggests, they are all chocolate cakes.

 Chocolate & Peanut Butter Mousse Cake

"We are talking serious cake here. The baked cake layer, a combination of devils food and pieces of peanut butter cups, is spooned out out of the center and the cavity is filled with peanut butter mousse and pieces of the scooped-out cake. Ganache and more peanut butter pieces cover the cake. As I told you this is a serious cake." Elinor Klivans
