February Daring Bakers: Chocolate Valentino

The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE's blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.
We have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge.

 

I was so excited to post this month. This was my first time being a part of the Daring Baker's group. An amazing group of bakers who come together each month to create the same dare!

This month was a flourless cake (never in my life made one of these), the chocolate valentino!

 

You will have to forgive my picture quality.... the big camera is in the shop.

I was really quite amazing at how light and fluffy the texture of this was. Anyone that knows me, knows I am not a big chocolate eater, but this was very good.

 

I added an easy strawberry glaze to it. I had strawberries on hand, didn't just want to cut them up, so thought a glaze would be great... it definitely was!

   

This was a lot of fun and definitely something I would not have made had I not been dared!

Can't wait for next month's dare!

Ooo that strawberry glaze just makes your lovely chocolate cake look even more sinful :P The deep red and rich chocolate color go so well together! Way to go on your first DB challenge!
