If you are having a bad day a piece of good chocolate can make the grass greener on your side of the road, seriously. I was totally surprised when my husband - not a chocolate fan- fill in love with this cake.

Easy chocolate cake

This is a truly fabulous cake, simple and easy. I hesitate a lot to make any cake as I know I can finish any cake ALONE in just a couple of days :). I can have cakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and this cake was no different so I had to send it away with eyes full of tears.

I love baking, all sorts of baking whether it is cakes, bread, cookies, scones, and so on. It is one of life's pleasure to turn on the oven and start creating something, and it gives me even more pleasure when the recipes come out not only delicious but also super easy and does not require a lot of ingredients.

There is nothing better than a good piece of cake, one which ease some of your stress and worries in this world. One that is fluffy, moist, light and with just the right amount of sugar. One that is easy to make when you crave a cake.

This cake satisfies most of the categories above, I am not going to tell you this cake is the best in the world, as our taste buds are created differently, but I just wanna say that it satisfied and pleased those who ate it.
