Lettuce begin!

LETTUCE BEGIN!!
I have recently required an absolute tremendous passion for cooking.
Now that I got married and actually have my own kitchen and someone
to cook for I cook everyday, and usually about four times a day!
I thought it'd be cool to start a blog and share recipes.
Mostly in the hopes that people will share theirs with me in return :)
But also just because cooking gives me such joy that I think should be shared!
From time to time I try to make some authentic Brasilian dishes,
which might interest those of you that want to try something really different.
Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I will, and thanks for all the recipes in advance!!
Xoxo,

    Hey! This is the best chocolate cake EVER!!! It's to-die-for! Hope you like it! :) Sarah C.

    Chocolate Truffle Cake
    http://www.tasteofhome.com/

    2-1/2 cups 2% milk
    1 cup butter, cubed
    8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
    3 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups sugar
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    FILLING:
    6 tablespoons butter, cubed
    4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
    2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
    1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

    GANACHE:
    10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
    2/3 cup heavy whipping cream

    Directions:
    In a large saucepan, cook the milk, butter and chocolate over low heat until melted. Remove from the heat; let stand for 10 minutes.
    In a large bowl, beat eggs and vanilla; stir in chocolate mixture until smooth. Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into the mixture (batter will be thin). Transfer to three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
    For filling, in a small saucepan, melt butter and chocolate. Stir in confectioners' sugar and cream until smooth.
    For ganache, place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool, stirring occasionally, until ganache reaches a spreading consistency.
    Set aside 1/2 cup filling for garnish. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with half of the remaining filling. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread ganache over top and sides of cake. Decorate with reserved filling. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 16 servings.
