Hi Everyone!
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day!
I decided to do something special for Phil and bake his favorite chocolate cake. After all, celebrating Valentines Day means having the best chocolate dessert ever! It's a day when we say the heck with the diet, who cares how many points and so what if I gain back the two pounds I just lost. It's a time to indulge in one of life's little pleasures....Chocolate Cake!!
This chocolate cake has been in our family for years. A girlfriend of Phil's boss brought the cake as a hostess gift around 1980 or so. It was frozen wrapped in aluminum foil. Her instructions were to defrost and to serve with whipped cream or iced cream. I served the cake for our family a few days later. We all were shocked at just how delicious it was. I requested the recipe and the rest is history as they say. That chocolate cake that looked quite ordinary became the family birthday cake for years to come. To this day, I have only one request on our son's birthdays...To bake the Chocolate Cake...
I have shared this recipe with countless friends and family. I think it must have gone around the world a few times by now.
Chocolate Cake
10 servings
1 instant chocolate pudding mix
4 large eggs
1 pint sour cream [16 oz.]
