Dark chocolate cupcake duo coming to T.G.I. Friday's

After a nationwide contest to determine the Ultimate Cakes Recipe, a dessert inspired by Janice Kollar, a 57-year-old singer/songwriter from Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey will be featured at over 600 US T.G.I. Friday's(R) restaurants beginning
today.

Kollar's cake recipe was judged to be best in class by a panel of food
experts on Food Network's "Ultimate Recipe Showdown," a six-week series
featuring America's greatest home cooks battling head-to-head for $25,000,
culinary supremacy and a spot on T.G.I. Friday's menu.



From press release

"This is a chocolate lover's dream dessert," said Scott Randolph,
senior director of culinary, R&D for T.G.I. Friday's. "It's so tempting,
you may order it first."
Randolph and his R&D team were challenged to transition Kollar's
Classic Chocolate Layer Cake recipe into a dish that would fit a strategic
need for the Friday's menu without sacrificing the spirit of the original
recipe.

Friday's "ultimate" result: Dark Chocolate Cupcake Duo, two rich dark
chocolate cupcakes topped with layers of creamy chocolate frosting and
sprinkled with dark chocolate chips.

"We took a brilliant and flavorful recipe for a cake and captured the
essence of it in a smaller package," continued Randolph. "Cupcakes are
something we've been researching for a long time and this recipe proved to
be the ideal fit. We updated a childhood favorite with an ultimate recipe
and by converting the cake into a cupcake our guests can now experience all
of the powerful, tongue-tingling flavors of a cake in a perfectly portioned
dessert."
