Today is the 16th birthday of my beautiful, talented, smart and wonderful son, Dashiell. He loves chocolate so I wanted to bake a cake for him made with chocolate and lots of love. The best recipe that I’ve found for chocolate cake if by Nigella Lawson in her “Nigella Bites” cookbook. Check it out. I made the cake last night and it does have a lot of ingrediants but it is fairly easy. All of the steps make perfect sense. The cake came out beautiful and it is so moist and loaded with flavor without the heavy chocolate that some chocolate cakes have. The icing is the cat’s meow, so silky and smooth and decadent. Here’s to Dashiell on his special day! Love MOM.
Happy Birthday Dashiell!

That is the best looking cake I’ve seen in a long time. Hope Dashiell had a wonderful birthday and that there are leftovers waiting for me…
I’m not a big fan of chocolate cake…but I AM a big fan of HOMEMADE cake! Do you have a pic of a cake slice?
Darlin’, you’re getting blog spam. Time to get this blog moderated. See above two spams for examples.
I sure am. How do I get it moderated?
I dunno; I don’t do WordPress, but most blogging platforms will let you set up a thing where you get an e-mail when you get a comment (and one of those puzzle-like Captcha things for the commenter to type) so you don’t get spammed.
