London Fog Cake from Tessa Huff’s Layered cookbook. Moist, decadent chocolate layer cake filled with earl grey buttercream and topped with homemade salted caramel!
I know I use this word a lot, but I’m in love with this cake. Both the cake and its name. London fog cake. So dreamy and romantic, right? This cake unequivocally lives up to each of those standards.
In fact, I was so in love with this cake that I didn’t trust myself around it at all. I had to give most of it away to friends. Otherwise, I might have slowly consumed the entire thing by myself. The words ‘everything in moderation’ and ‘three layer 8-inch chocolate cake’ aren’t mutually compatible in a household of two, as much as I would like to pretend that they are.
So, here’s the deal. I can’t take credit for this cake. I mean, I happily baked, photographed, and ate it, but that’s about it. The recipe is from my friend Tessa Huff’s incredibly impressive new cookbook, Layered, which comes out tomorrow!
Tessa is the former bakery owner, talented baker, and writer behind Sweet Style CA, a blog dedicated to cakes and pastries. She makes some of the prettiest, most impressive cakes on the internets (you’ve probably come across a link to her blog in The Sunday Thymes!). I’ve admired her work for a long time!
