I went for the chocolate and almond cake after all.
Man, I'm a bad photographer. But you can blame my sneaky little children's fingers for the smears of icing around the edge of the plate. I told them they couldn't touch the cake, but they interpreted that to mean they could touch the plate and any icing that might be on it.
We have a chocolate-almond butter cake with chocolate buttercream-yogurt frosting — really I think I should call it chocolate butter-yogurt frosting, it hasn't any cream — a little red decorator's sugar, a little coconut, a little melted chocolate and a few blanched almonds.
I will provide a recipe if we decide it is tasty! And I will try a Tres Leches cake next time we have a Marian feast, I think, because I thought that was just a great idea (and I've never made one and would like to try.)
P. S. I never did manage to make dinner. Leftover night! (plus cake.)
