My first 1934 white + chocolate layered cake

 Over the weekend,

I created this two layered two different cakes from 

an old 1934 vintage cookbook that my Grandmother gave me

a few years ago.

I had a bit of an adventure with the white cake, which I made last Friday.

Overall, it was a bit too 'chewy' but still good.

I really liked the way the cake itself turned out,

how it looked when one cut into it

and the taste variety. 

And it was the first time I did a ganache frosting,

based on this recipe. 

Cooling it in the fridge + whipping it with my mixer both helped it.

I kept the cake in the fridge, frosted and covered, overnight.

We then put it, covered of course, in a big freezer bag with an ice pack.

The frosting was still satisfyingly cool when I cut the cake,

and I would like to make it again one day!
Perhaps trying a new vintage white cake recipe...
