Alles wat je moet weten over zwarte fluwelen zonnebankcrème

Black velvet zonnebankcreme

This song is about Elvis Presley. Some lyric analysis:

"Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high" - Jimmie Rodgers, a country music pioneer from Elvis' home state of Mississippi, influencing Elvis (the baby) at an early age. The Victrola is the record player, played loudly.

"Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder" - Gladys Presley dancing with the infant Elvis.

"Black velvet and that little boy's smile" - You can buy a black velvet Elvis painting at any respectable yard sale. Early female fans were drawn to his "Little boy smile."

"Black velvet with that slow southern style" - Elvis delivered some of his songs with slow, undulating hips. Check out "Steamroller Blues" live.

"Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave" - Sun Studios. The epicenter of early rock music and where Elvis recorded.

"White lightning, bound to drive you wild" - rock music and booze.

"Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl" - A reference to the baby in the early part of the song, being loved by all the young girls.

"Love Me Tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle" - Love Me Tender was a huge hit for Elvis in 1956.

"The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true" - Elvis' legendary hips swivel, the Pelvis.

"Every word of every song that he sang was for you. In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do?" - Elvis died suddenly in 1977.

This was a Canadian production: The song was written by the Canadian musicians David Tyson and Christopher Ward, and Myles is from Toronto. Ward and Myles were a couple and also worked together - she sang on his 1981 solo album Time Stands Still. Teaming up with Tyson, Ward put together a demo tape for Myles which got her a deal with Atlantic Records.

Produced by Tyson and Ward, Alannah Myles was her first album, and it was a huge hit in Canada, becoming the top-selling debut album in Canadian history. "Black Velvet" was the first US single, and it was a massive hit, rising to #1 in March 1990, where it stayed for two weeks. The US follow-up single was another song written by Tyson and Ward, "Love Is." That song went to #36 and was her last chart entry in America. She did have several more hits in Canada.

Spooky Black Velvet Halloween Cake

Black Velvet Halloween Cake is a two layer rich chocolate cake with a moist, velvety texture. It's filled with sweet blackberry compote and frosted with black cocoa buttercream. Fresh blackberries and chocolate skulls top this luscious cake, making it perfectly balanced and incredibly decadent.

This Black Velvet Halloween Cake is perfect for spooky season. Its natural black color comes from using black cocoa powder. There is ZERO food dye in this cake! To compliment the robust chocolate flavor, I pair it with a fruity blackberry compote filling.

Expert Baking Tips

No, you do not. You can substitute with regular Dutch process cocoa powder for a traditional chocolate cake. The color of the cake will not be as black but it will still taste delicious. You can also add a couple drops of black food die if you'd like.

Black cocoa powder is rarely sold inside the grocery store. But readily available online. You can find it on Amazon.

Can I make the cake layers ahead of time?

Although the coffee helps intensify the chocolate flavor in this cake, you can replace it with hot water.
