CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE CAKE

We were invited to a garden party last weekend and were told they were having a cake baking competition with some pretty sweet prizes up for grabs. I looked through the cook books and asked a few friends but in the end I came across this recipe on Facebook and knew it was the one. It's a pecan pie inside of a chocolate cake.

This recipe was ambitious but worth every bite! Here is the RECIPE

We did not win, but had an amazing day with lots of giggles, food and great weather. I did hear the judges say that our cake took the competition to a whole new level. *grin* The winner was a garden party cake that was beautifully decorated with flowers and butterflies springing from the top.

All the winning cakes were auctioned off for charity and thankfully for us, the rest of the cakes were served with tea. We would have never known how yummy our cake was if it had won.

 Lessons: Simple is better and always make two cakes! xoxo
