It may look like a massacre…

By Silver Blue

…but in fact, it was the very VERY first cake I made from scratch. A génoise cake, meaning one that has no leavening agents in it other than firmly beaten eggwhites. It can flop on you, but mine did not.

It’s a three-layered white chocolate génoise, with a strawberry glaze atop. I made it for dad for his birthday in 2008. He liked it so much that I wasn’t allowed to take it back home with me!

Same goes for what I made him for father’s day that year: Strawberry Mousse Chocolat. Now this does NOT look like a massacre… it looks like… heaven. At least MY take on it.

In the springform pan:

With little stars of freshly beaten, sweetened whipped cream atop.

Unmolded:


You can see the layers of strawberry mousse and the chocolate brownie bottom. Finally:

All decked out on Mom’s china. It was a Father’s Day to remember.
