"ChocolateFrosting" news and stories

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.

Peak into my grocery bag from last night:

I went to Trader Joe's last night to get a couple of things for dinner. But there were so many good things on the new products shelf! I picked up one. Then another. And then I figured, why not? I'm doing it for you. I'll be reviewing some delicious (or maybe not so much) things including:

• Chocolate-flavored tea
• Mexican Chili from the new One Pot Sauce
• Decadent chocolate frosting
• Spiced gingerbread cookies, chocolate-covered
