Milk-Chocolate-Frosted Layer Cake

Rate & Review

This cake from Karina Gowing, the pastry chef at Arrows Restaurant in Ogunquit, Maine, is perfection for anyone who loves frosting. The ultracreamy icing, which is almost like a milk-chocolate ganache, gets spread liberally over layers of light, delicate, cocoa-flavored cake.

Milk-Chocolate-Frosted Layer Cake

Both the cake and frosting are amazing.  By far the best chocolate cake I've ever made or eaten!  Ms. Gowing should be honored by this creation - worth a trip up to Maine to try more of her treat.

Cake portion of this recipe was disappointing. It was too pale in comparison to the frosting, which IMHO was amazing. I would consider making this again with a different, more flavorful cake underneath it.

Cake portion was moist and easy to make.  It produced a near perfect crumb.  I liked the square shape of this cake.  I'm not sure about the frosting- most of my guests thought it was okay but in the future I might use the same cake recipe but tweak the frosting portion.  As with most cakes, this was much tastier the next day!
