The article describes the author's annual birthday chaos related to cake baking, managed mainly by his family. Seeking a simpler solution, he collaborated with a colleague to develop an easy chocolate cake recipe. The original frosting was too slow, prompting him to create a new, speedy chocolate cream cheese frosting that avoids the waiting time needed for cooling ganache. This new frosting combines butter, cream cheese, and melted chocolate for a quicker, tastier option that allows the author to enjoy his birthday without kitchen anxiety.
Enter this speedy chocolate cream cheese frosting. The base of softened butter and cream cheese gives it maximum volume and stability.
This cake topper has a pleasant zip. It celebrates the savory side of chocolate with a mousse-like floofiness.
I usually take 80% of the frosting off whatever baked goods I eat, since most are invariably too sweet. This is different.
It was only recently that I figured out a way to make it even easier.
