I had a craving for a chocolate cake. This has been my usual "go to" chocolate cake since my mother-in-law told me about it a few years ago. Good things about this cake is low fat, easy to bake and Vegan (for you Amy!). We had this with plain yogourt & maple syrup and fresh strawberry sauce. Yum :) I always notice sweets with chocolate (i.e. cakes or cookies) taste better next day. I once baked this for my friend's birthday (doubled the recipe), sliced the cake in half, added Nutella in between and finished with raspberry sauce & vanilla ice cream. That was great too!

OMG that is so funny. Snoop looks like he just woke up after a night of binge drinking. Actually it looks like he is sporting a faux-hawk! Tell Tom he has a "bacon double haircut". ;0
ReplyDeleteI forgot about that cake. Think I will try and bake one for my bday this week. Love the nutells idea. Almost as good as 2bitr brownies with almond butter. Mmm.
