The Hard Part is the Cheesecake Filling

One of the very best parts of my wedding was the cake. It was ugly (the horrible catering hall manager didn’t allow my tattooed, pierced, punk-rock florist to put flowers on it… but that’s a whole other story) and it was naked. But it was SO GOOD. It was chocolate or vanilla, maybe both, and had both a fudge and cheesecake filling layer in. Never, ever had I had a cake like that before.
Now our 1000th day of being married is coming up at the end of January and I want to celebrate it with a similarly awesome cake. I’m thinking this is an excellent time to cross off a life list item – “Learn to make a really great cake from scratch (with homemade frosting).”
I’ll worry about the ins and outs of it after the new year, but I wanted to put out there that if you happen to have a fabulous recipe for “cheese cake filling” (because it wasn’t cheesecake proper, it was like cheesecake pudding, or cheesecake custard or something that was cheesecake-like in flavor but then so wonderful and creamy and very UN like a cheesecake in texture) pass it on. Extensive googling has turned up nothing.
