My mother’s Better Than Anything Ultimate Halloween Birthday Cake. She only ever made it for me on my thirteenth and eighteenth birthdays, since it was such a labor. Layers of chocolate apple spiced cake with bittersweet ganache between them, an absolute slathering of peanut butter frosting, and salted caramel drizzle on top for a final flourish.
Nah that’s too much for me and I am a sweets person. Apple spice chocolate? With peanut butter???? And ganache??? AND CARAMEL TOO? This is two cakes in one
