Mississippi Mud Cake

My friend Jocelyn has written a lovely book called Grandbaby Cakes and this cake is one of the masterpieces in it!

Sharing it with you today is pure joy for me as I consider Jocelyn to be like a sister. She is smart, sassy, hilarious, thoughtful, kind, and talented beyond words. If I were a bettin’ gal I would put money on FAME in Jocelyn’s future… big things I know!

This amazingly creative cake is layers of decadently rich chocolate, alcohol-infused whipped cream, and the best ganache ever. I added some Oreos because I loved the extra texture they added to each glorious bite.
