David’s Chocolate Cake
We are just back from another quick trip to the East coast. We visited my twin brother and his family as he enters the final phase of his fight with cancer. He has taught us all how to live each day with dignity and humor. As usual our time together included lots of food and laughter. We took Beef Bourguignon with pot bread loaves, salad, hazelnut cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies and strawberry shortcake, he supplied the jokes.
One of our nieces asked why we didn’t have her father’s chocolate cake on our website, emealsforyou.com. As I am always looking for a new recipe, she sent his to me and now I have made it available to you. The cake is very moist and rich. I made this this morning and start to finish it took less than an hour to prepare and bake. Give it a try the next time you need a delicious cake for any occasion.
