i made the cake, and wow. i made a few modifications, using yogurt instead of sour cream (adding an extra teaspoon of baking soda to compensate) and using unsweetened peanut butter in an effort to make the cake a wee bit less sweet (did i just say that!?!), and it was excellent. rich (really, really rich), and decadent, and all around excellent.
i'm counting on some friends to help us finish it up over the weekend, because tomorrow i'm making a pecan pie (as requested) for the actual birthday.




oh yum. yum. yum.
