Vanilla Buttercake with Chestnut Cream Filling and Dark Chocolate Ganache Frosting

This is my first cake made from scratch. The vanilla buttercake itself is darker than it usually would be because I used organic whole cane sugar instead of processed white sugar. The taste is great, but the color isn’t the dreamy creamy yellow one might expect.

I also couldn’t resist the temptation to futz with the recipe just the tiniest bit (recipe is from the James Peterson "Baking" cookbook), and so added one crushed macadamia nut and a half stick of cinnamon, crushed. The flavor and aroma additions made the risk all worthwhile.

The chocolate utilized for the chocolate ganache is an 85% pure Bolivian kakao chocolate bar.

2 teaspoons of baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of salt
—-the 1 cup of buttermilk—-

What is it in them that gives off that Cherry flavored taste? Is that the Vanilla in them? I was eating a coconut cake (plain white cake, almost as fluffy as Angel Food Cake) with white icing/coconut sprinkles… What makes it smell/taste like cherries??? I really should not be eating Vanilla, is why I ask, FYI….
OoooOoOoo, I know what Almond Extract smells like, you are so right! But thanks also for the tip about the Vanilla being in the frosting and in the fluffy cake. I really shouldn’t be eating it!
