Sooo Tasty.

I know, gentle reader, that I promised you pictures. And you shall get your lousy iPhone picture..on another day. The picture in question, I took with my friends better camera'd iPhone 4G, which is a whole number up from my 3G. But I'll still tell you about the cake.

It was very good. The cake itself was so moist. I tell you, that buttermilk just adds the most delicious moistness to cakes! The chocolate of the cake married very well with the mint of the icing. One of my friends wants the cake for his Grooms cake, when he gets married next year. I can totally do that!

So, you want a recipe, eh? Well, okay. And let me know how it turns out!
