I made a cake for my father's birthday the other day! Me first one ever    It's chocolate with coconut filling and ganache. It turned out really good, the only problem is that it could use more filling because the cake was really dense.

Rabbit Hill posted:You can't post that without the recipe! What kind of cookies are those? The cookies are from Smitten Kitchen! Brownie Roll-Out Cookies 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup lightly salted butter, softened (Deb note: I don’t really see “lightly salted” much these days, so I used one stick salted, one stick unsalted) 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa (I used the “good” stuff–Droste or Galler–but I can assure you that my mother only used Hershey’s growing up, so your choice) Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Whisk dry flour, salt and baking powder in bowl and set aside. Mix butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cocoa in mixer. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least one hour. Roll out cookie dough on floured counter. Cut into desired shapes, brushing extra deposits of flour off the top. (It does disappear once baked, though, so don’t overly fret if they go into the oven looking white.) Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 8 to 11 minutes (the former for 1/8-inch thick cookies, the latter for 1/4-inch cookies) until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft and puffed. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The cake is from Martha Stewart, also the ganache! The filling was kind of a mix of recipes haha. It was mess of ideas thrown together, luckily it came out okay
