Our last BIG night in Vegas

John and I decided to go on a date Saturday (thank you Papa Jaggi) and to make it up right - sense this is our last date night in Vegas, we decided to do it VEGAS STYLE!

We had dinner at Cafe Ba Ba Reeba -the restaurant features Spanish tapas and paella. And that is what we had. BUT - yes, there is a BUT - the dessert (to small) but sooooooo yummy! Three-milk chocolate cake. I had to find it - I searched and found this recipe that I am going to try! Believe me it was so good that I REALLY wanted to lick the plate clean.

3-Milk Chocolate Cake!!!

INGREDIENTS

· 1 cup granulated sugar
· 6 large eggs
· 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
· 5 liquid ounces vegetable oil
· 1/2 cup cocoa powder
· 1 1/3 cups cake flour
· 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
· 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch pan. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until pale yellow and tripled in volume. With mixer running, gradually add vegetable oil. Sift together dry ingredients and fold into egg mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Milk Mixture

· 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
· 1 cup heavy cream
· 1/2 cup milk
· 1/2 cup cocoa powder
· 1/4 cup Crème de Cacao (we looked this up and Vons carries it)

DIRECTIONS
Combine sweetened condensed milk, cream, milk and cocoa powder in a sauce pan. Heat and stir till cocoa dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in liqueur. Poke holes with a tooth pick in the top of the cake. Pour milk mixture over the cake and refrigerate.

If you bake it before me - tell me if it is any good!!!

Then the night isn't over and we went to:

Le Reve at the Wynn- 5th row seats (there really is no bad seats in the house). It was AWESOME!! Loved every minute.





Thanks honey!!! You're the best!!!!!!
