I’m stretching the fact just a touch. It’s actually only National Chocolate Cake Day in the United States, but c’mon…! It’s chocolate cake. Do you need a better excuse than someone, somewhere made a national day out of it?
And to celebrate the day, I’m posting here my mother-in-law’s chocolate cake recipe, which is simple and quick and damned delicious. It’s a no-fail recipe that we have been using in our family for decades.
Enjoy!
