Sugar High Friday #41: Sweet Gifts - White Russian Cake

I invited my parents for Easter so I thought to surpise my mom with this cake. First of all this was long time my favourite cake as I child, so it was obvious for me that I am gonna surprise her with this and nothing else. When I was younger I did not want to learn to cook from her and this made her really sad, because she is a passionate baker. Meanwhile she knows that I have a food blog and she is kinda proud of me to see how many dishes and cakes I have already made. She was very happy about the cake, but most of all happy to see me because we live thousand miles away and meet only three times a year. My dad also enjoyed a cake, he loves everything with a good chocolate cake. Mom said it was even better than what she does. I would say they taste the same. I asked my mom why it is called that way, but she also did not know the answer. I have made two long versions and one small for her. This is my entry for the Sugar High Friday.
