Today is Monday. Last week's Key Lime Pie is almost gone and the chocolate chip cookies I made two weeks ago are definitely not fresh. So... it was time to bake something else! This time I was having a chocolate attack so I decided that we'd skip the citrus and go for the cocoa powder. And I have to say it was the best decision I've made today. :)
I got a wonderful recipe from All Recipes and started baking away. The result was a wonderful, dense chocolate cake with homemade chocolate butter cream frosting. Did I hear a Hallelujah? Or was that my stomach? All I have to say was my hubby and I were definitely fans of this recipe.
I decided to make it a single layer chocolate cake and cut the recipe in half. I don't like making more food then I know we will eat so I decided one layer was enough!
If any of you would like the recipe here is the link:

In an earlier post I shared about the fun of baking and the importance of baking from scratch! I know that my husband really appreciates a homemade dessert once a week. It's a nice way to end the day after a long day's work.
And it's a nice way for us moms to end a crazy day of running errands, doing laundry and cleaning! Praise Jesus for chocolate! :)
This looks amazing and unique. I can't wait to try this one out.
