The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE's blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef. We have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge.
This challenge was somewhat easy to make, but I was not too happy with the results. The cake had an almost brownie texture which was GREAT, but it had deep cracks that made it look...not very apetizing... hence I covered it with some cherries.
Also I made it with semi-sweet chocolate and it was a little too strong for me... next time I do it (and I will!) I'll use 50% semi-sweet and 50% milk chocolate. I also ate the cake without the ice-cream so that might have made the difference... maybe with ice-cream it would taste better since the sweetness of the ice-cream will make up for the strength of the chocolate flavor??
That's all for now, but hopefully I'll be posting more detailed explanations next time!

Sarah from All Our Fingers in the Pie was our February 2013 Daring Bakers’ host and she challenges us to use our creativity in making our own Crisp Flatbreads and Crackers.It wouldn’t be the end of the month without me rushing to finish and post my Daring Bakers Challenge. This month was focused around crackers, and after the last challenge made such wonderful ones, I was looking forward to it.
