    Cake: [https://yestoyolks.com/2014/10/19/one-year-mocha-cake-with-fudge-filling-espresso-frosting/](https://yestoyolks.com/2014/10/19/one-year-mocha-cake-with-fudge-filling-espresso-frosting/)

    I used 2.25 cups of sugar instead of 3

    Filling is bird’s custard. The cake has 4 layers. I only had enough custard powder for about a half recipe but it would’ve been even better with a full batch.

    German buttercream: [https://livforcake.com/german-buttercream/](https://livforcake.com/german-buttercream/)

    With 1.33 cups of butter instead of 2 cups. It is the most delicious frosting I’ve ever had omg. I think this might be the first time I’ve had it.

    What is it with sadness and sweets? Is yhere a correlation because I was sad and bought a German chocolate cake lol.

  15. Um… sharing is caring, OP. Pass that plate around!
