This cake dedicated to my Dad, who treated his kids to ice cream all summer. It was a fun event to go to the local creamery for homemade ice cream. Living in New England however meant all the creamerys shut down for the winter. My Dad would bring home neapolitam ice cream in the winter from the grocery store saying it was perfect with 3 flavors in one! When I was getting into making layer cakes this was one of my first. It is time consuming but easy to prepare. It is a crowd pleaser and the flavors of the cake are delicious!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.

Chocolate Crunch Layer Cake

This cake is an easy chocolate cake that is very moist and flavorful. I made it into 3 layers, using the fourth layer as the the cake crumb crunch. The frosting is a highlight of the cake with its creamy smooth chocolate flavor. Its a great contrast to the crispy cake crunch,
