My son turned 2 this past week. Hang on, let me stop crying.
Ok, I'm good. It is really hard to believe that the once tiny baby that I held not long ago, is now 2. Wow. 2 is actually a really fun age. He says some of the most ridiculous stuff.
Like, "I want chocolate cake."
Oh wait. That was my husband.
Austin's birthday party isn't until this weekend, but being the people we are, we needed an occasion to eat cake. Chocolate cake.
Besides lemon meringue pie and chocolate pie...and red velvet cupcakes, chocolate cake is one of the most requested recipes in our house. I just never make it. I really don't care for it.
Truth.
Look! They are twins!
What a ham. Like father like son.
Just dig on in. See, like father like son.
Here, let's be a bit more civilized. How about I slice you a piece?
This actually was a delicious cake. It is completely from scratch, so if you are a box mix only kinda baker, this is not for you. Well, I say that but it's actually quite easy. I doubled the frosting and garnished with sprinkles, which is totally optional. Chocolate shavings would also look nice.
