Don't Forget... National Chocolate Cake Day...January 27th!

Yep! I told you we celebrate all the holidays. Well, all the main ones plus any obscure ones involving chocolate. So Monday is National Chocolate Cake Day, and here is our very favorite one in case you want to celebrate too. This recipe came from a book called "The Cake Mix Doctor". Enjoy!

    What would we do without you??!! We wouldn't have a clue when all of our favorite chocolaty days should be celebrated :) Thanks for the early heads up. Maybe I can actually get my act together to make chocolate cake (not like I need an excuse to make/devour chocolate) and enjoy it. And, it will also be in honor of my dad's bday, which is also tomorrow.

    I could do this with a regular chocolate cake recipe, right? Like maybe a chocolate chunk cake mix? We're celebrating!!

    One of my favorites!!! We call our version "icebox chocolate cake" but it has the exact same ingredients! (This was the recipe I attached (along with all the dry ingredients) in a brand new bundt pan for Mary & Ben's classroom teachers!)

    Happy Chocolate Cake Day!

    Hi Billie Jo,
    I love chocolate cake! In fact, It is usually what I choose for my birthday cake (if not cheese cake).
    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment on my Goodbye post.
    I will be back, and until then, I will pop in to see how you are doing.
    ♥Hope
