I just gained 6 pounds looking at the picture.
This would be my husbands favorite type of cake.
I myself like very very chocolate or anything completely over the top.
He likes a white or yellow cake and chocolate frosting.
If I made this for him, he'd be mine forever more.

Since this is about cakes, can any one tell me about the genoise cakes that I've seen made a few times on the TV show Chopped?
The judges are always so impressed that anyone would attempt a genoise cake.
Are they hard, is it something that one has to master, I know nothing of this kind of cake, help please if you can..............
