And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.

To me, having people over means I can make a dessert that I wouldn't normally make for just my little family because then there will be people to eat more of it so I don't eat it all. So naturally, I made a cake for John and Allison's weekend here. Baking, by the way, is so much better than cleaning. Just in case you were wondering. I used a recipe I saw on Sweetapolita. I've been dying to try this one out! I used decaffeinated coffee in the cake which did intensify the chocolate flavor, and I used the recommended cocoa. It was delicious and I exercised restraint and ate no more than 4 pieces over the weekend.

wow! I will show no restraint if you make this for me! John and Allison are probably just a few calories heavier. You are such a good hostess!

I’m pretty sure this was the best cake I’ve ever had.

Can I have some?  How much do you think it would cost to ship to Denver?  And do you think it would stay fresh?  Mmmmmm…..yum.
