Perfect Chocolate Frosting : page 436
This ultra-rich frosting really is near to perfect. It spreads beautifully, sets nicely, is really smooth and tastes fabulous. Must be those two sticks of butter and cup of chocolate. Oh, and maybe the half and half....

Sweetened Cream : page 445
This is a basic recipe for whipped, sweetened cream with a touch of vanilla. It's called for as a filling in The Perfect Chocolate Cake recipe. While very tasty and the height of luxury, as a filling, I can't give it the highest marks. It looks spectacular when the cake is sliced making two bold, thick white dividers in between the dark cake layers. But as it warms up, those layers get mighty slippery and the cake threatens to slide into separate layers. It would make a better frosting I think.

The Perfect Chocolate Cake : page 34
I made this three layer cake for a friend's birthday celebration and it was a great success. It's very moist and full of chocolate flavor. Everyone loved it and I will certainly make it again. In fact, I liked it so much, when I need a chocolate layer cake recipe, it will be hard for me to skip over this recipe and try any of the others in this book!
The filling is Sweetened Cream and the frosting is Perfect Chocolate Frosting, both of which are recipes in the book separate from the cake recipe.
