in the kitchen with: cenk’s devil’s food cake
October 31, 2010 by admin · 11 Comments
Cenk Sönmezsoy is the detail-oriented chocoholic behind the lovely food blog, Cafe Fernando. The first time my friend sent me a link to the blog, I thought, “Why is she sending me to some shop’s website??” But then the page loaded and I was bowled over by all the beautiful chocolate concoctions I saw, click after click. Given his penchant for chocolate, it only made sense for Cenk to offer us a dramatic devil’s food cake with ginger-spiced ganache. Do you know many people who can resist a chocolate layer cake with a luscious ganache? The only person I ever met who could was allergic to chocolate. — Kristina

Kristina, Grace – Once again, thanks for this great opportunity. I am honored to be featured on Design Sponge.

Barbara – Sorry, the plate is quite old and I bought it used on eBay, so can’t point you to a store or a website. It writes “Style House, Stoneware Bermuda, Made in Japan” on the bottom. Hope this helps.
Wow! that looks amazing…
Where can I get that fabulous plate???
Oh my! It’s wonderful. The photos are exquisite and I can almost smell the chocolate…
*thud*
Did you know that there’s a Haagen Dazs speculoos ice cream? At least here in Holland there is. Yum!! It tastes great. I love speculoos. In Holland the same cookes are called speculaas and they are made for St. Nicholas’ Day.
The cake looks spectacular!

This cake looks like art. It made me stop and take a moment to admire how the chocolate is placed around the edges, how it is unexpected, the edges are sharp to contrast with the softness of the cake, the luxurious colour… it is phenomenal.
Woo this looks DIVINE! it actually reminds me of my favorite chocolate shop back at home.
