For some reason, I cannot stop thinking about food. It's all we talk about at work and all I think about. We are currently getting recipes together for a company cookbook. Also, this past week we had 2 birthdays in our department, so I decided to bake one cake for both girls (ladies, women..whatever). It has been quite awhile since I attempted to bake this particular recipe, but it really turned out nice. The chocolate frosting is absolutely delicious. I made extra, thinking I would need it to frost the cake, but I didn't so I actually had enought to freeze it. I hope it is okay for the next attempt. The cake I baked is a Hungarian Dobos Torte. Quite involved because it is a scratch cake. Although many make a round version, you can also make a "log" square version. I think the square version is easier. Also, I frosted the entire cake in chocolate frosting. The original version has one layer topped with carmalized sugar topping. Since I have never attempted to do that, I opted not to attempt it. Maybe next time. I think it turned out o.k. My co-workers liked it.
Also, we had a tremendous meal on Valentine's Day at my daughter's house. Chicken Paprikas (another Hungarian favorite) with Tarhonya (Hungarian pasta). Chocolate Trifle for dessert. Yum!!
That's all for now, I'm off to eat breakfast and get ready for work.
