Birthday Cakes

Doberge Cake (http://www.gumbopages.com/food/dessert/choc-doberge.html)

Well I got birthday cakes on the brain. My office surprised me with my most very, very favorite cake in the world, a doberge cake.

I've posted a recipe for a "beginner's" cake (just has 4 layers), along with a little history.

So, what kind of cake do you get on your birthday?

I prefer pineapple upside down cake..
with an overabundance of pineapple and cherries on top. Basically you can skip the cake part of it. I usually don't eat it anyway.

The only, real birthdaycake is the one with cream, raspberries, walnuts and marzipan http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

Just made a birthday cake for my aikido instructor - layer of banana cake, layer of chocolate cake with mascarpone filling in between, and real chocolate buttercream. Yum!

Lindox - If you just like the pineapple part, try this - put some brown sugar and butter in an oven proof skillet, lay out the pineapple slices and cherries just as you would for the cake, drizzle a little more melted butter on top and stick 'em in a 375 oven for about 10-15 minutes.

When I buy it myself, it's angelfood w/ strawberries and Cool Whip. When my family gets it, it's chocolate. Too bad I really don't like chocolate cake. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif Bastards. LOL

I like ice cream cakes. I haven't had one in years, I keep asking for one on my Bday, but I never get one. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif

Learn from the mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

Sounds delicious..but will you please tell me it's okay to eat the whole pan full.
Maybe my little omelet size pan.

LOL, Lindox - You have my permission! Actually, pineapple is quite healthy, contains a lot of fiber and vitamin C, as well as bromelain (an enzyme which helps break down proteins). So go ahead, enjoy! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
