Recipes - cakes

It's funny, I think of pies as a completely separate category than cakes! I like pecan pie before I became allergic to tree nuts, but usually it is so sweet, a tiny piece is plenty!

PTers, have you heard of canasta cake? I saw a recipe for it in the food section of the newspaper. It's two square layers of chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting between them. Chocolate sprinkles on all four sides. Card-party hostesses would serve it when friends came over to play canasta. It sounds too rich to me with all that chocolate. I would try Randi's Tosca cake if I could locate almond flour. Maybe Whole Foods.
