We. Love. This. Cake. From the perfectly dense and moist and light and chocolatey cake, to the layer of a huge chocolate chip cookie right in the middle, to the thick and rich brown sugar buttercream – this cake has it all. Now it does …
Comfort Food is exactly what it sounds like… food which makes you feel comfortable and safe and all warm & cozy. Typically there is a problem with Comfort Food though – part of what makes it so “comfortable” is the extremely high level of fat …
