Slashfood in the Kitchen: Birthday cake from scratch

It's time for another original episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen with Marisa (that's me!) and Scott. This time we make a classic yellow birthday cake from scratch and top it with a chocolate seven minute frosting. It's a quick and delicious way to make someone feel loved on their special day and do it in no time at all.

The cake recipe came from my copy of the Gourmet Cookbook (the big yellow one that came out a few years ago) but you can also find the recipe here on Epicurious.com. I used this seven minute frosting recipe, also from Epicurious, and added in 2 ounces of melted unsweetened bakers' chocolate at the end.

We'd like to thank Mastercard for sponsoring Slashfood in the Kitchen. They'd like us to remind you that whether you're an art-lover, a traveler, or a connoisseur of fine dining, search and you could win priceless prizes beyond compare.

I'd love it if these videos were a podcast I could subscribe to. Any chance of that happening?

Yum. I'm sending this as a hint to my husband for my upcoming b-day ;-)

Baked this up tonight, was quite easy. I recommend 8" rounds vs 9". 9" is too big and the layers are too thin.
