chocolate layer cake with cream cheese frosting

When I first pulled this picture up on my computer screen last night, my boyfriend looked at it, his eyes nearly popping out of his head and said, "Whoa!" For a cake fiend like him, this picture is dangerously tempting, and later in the evening, he asked in plaintive tones, "Why won't you make a cake like that for me?"

This chocolate layer cake with cream cheese frostings (in its finished form, the top is frosted with a chocolate-hued frosting) comes to us from Jennifer of Bake or Break. Her husband Quinn did the actual baking work here, prepping this gorgeous sucker for her birthday. Great job Quinn and happy birthday Jennifer!

Food Porn Daily: Red Velvet Layer Cake

I don't think there's any food better to feature on Valentine's Day besides a vividly colored red velvet cake. This one, by Bakerella, meets all the criteria of food porn too: rough edges, myopic focus and thickly spread frosting. Could someone please get me a slice and a fork? If you want to whip up one of these for your sweetie as an after dinner treat tonight, here's a link to Paula Deen's family recipe as well as the recipe for cream cheese frosting that Bakerella used on the cake you see above.

The last cream cheese frosting recipe you'll ever need

cream cheese frosting on red velvet cupcakes

Really, we all know the real reason why cupcakes are so popular. Cupcakes are basically an edible utensil for eating frosting, particularly when it comes to certain cupcake "flavors" like red velvet. What the hell is "red velvet?" It's nothing more than a fancy way to shamelessly eat a quarter- to half-cup full of cream cheese frosting.

Cream cheese frosting, you see, is the best frosting out there, and I have stumbled across the end-all, be-all recipe for it. Strangely enough, it's been under my nose this whole time in my trusty Joy of Cooking cookbook for years. I just never noticed it. At first I didn't trust it because it seemed way too easy compared to "fancier" recipes that make you think you need to be Ina Garten to make it, but this recipe is almost so easy, even Sandra Lee could make it. Ouch. Was that too harsh? See, that's how easy this recipe is.

Beat 8 oz. cold cream cheese (not rock solid, but it means you can use it straight out of the refrigerator) with 5 Tbsp. softened butter and 2 tsp. vanilla until combined. Gradually add 2 c. powdered sugar that has been sifted after measuring. Continue to add more sifted powdered sugar until you reach a consistency and sweetness that fits your taste.

No softening the cream cheese (though you do have to plan ahead with the butter). No whipping to a certain point that occurs for all of ten seconds before it's ruined. The hardest part is not eating the frosting straight from the bowl by the spoonful.

Food Porn: Pumpkin Roll Cake

The Pumpkin Roll Cake is a back-of-the-box recipe, meaning that it is usually printed on the wrapper on cans of Libby's solid-pack canned pumpkin, so it is a recipe that just about everyone (in the US, anyway) seems to have come across at one time or another. Discounting the brands sold at natural foods stores, Libby's is the most common brand of pumpkin and the one you are most likely to see when at the grocery store, so it is not terribly surprising to find that when people are not making pie with their canned pumpkin, they are often making this cake, as did Nicole, from Pinch My Salt. The cake consists of a very thin pumpkin sponge caked that is rolled up and spread with a generous amount of cream cheese filling, giving it the ideal cake-to-frosting ratio for anyone who enjoys cream cheese frosting.

The recipe is after the jump.

Food Porn: Chocolate cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles

What could be better than a cupcake? It is an individually-sized cake serving that fits into your hand and is topped with a generous amount of gooey, sugary icing. A cupcake is not really complete until it has also been topped with a generous amount of sprinkles, and the Skinny Epicurean did not let that fact escape her when she made a batch of Magnolia Bakery's Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing. Using the recipe from the famous New York bakery's cookbook, she put out a batch of the most beautiful cupcakes I have seen. Maybe it's the lure of those rainbow sprinkles, but I wouldn't mind making a batch myself just to get a taste! She has the full recipe on her blog.
