I am Somer Canon: Shiftless lay-about, blog enthusiast, and more importantly, food lover. This blog will share my favorite recipes, cooking techniques, adventures in eating, and just about any subject pertaining to cooking and eating. If you are looking for a highly styled food blog with beautiful photography and highly gourmet meals, you are in the wrong place my friend. I am not a chef nor am I particularly talented with a camera. What I will provide are simple recipes (mostly done on a budget) that are delicious. I will take a few pictures here and there, but mostly to show what's going on in the recipe. So leave your expectations at the door and get ready for some wonderful smells and tastes.
A “Holy Crap” Dessert
My husband has been griping for the past few days about wanting a chocolate cake. I kept deflecting his belly-achings and going about my business. Today, however, I decided to humor him and make a chocolate cake.
At any given time, I always have the ingredients handy to make several different baked goods. It’s a nice way to put a peaceful note on a stressful day and, hey, sometimes you just want some warm cookies. So I was very not worried when I went online to look for recipes on how to make a wonderful chocolate cake and chocolate icing. What I came upon was a recipe that, at first glace, appeared to be the recipe for your average run-of-the-mill cake. I had all of the ingredients on hand and decided to try it anyhow. Besides, I trust Hershey. It’s the only chocolate (Besides Ghirardelli and Neuhaus) that I really like.
The recipe was super easy. The icing was super easy to make. When we had finished our dinner and I served this, my husband looked at me after his first bite and said, “I hope you’re keeping this recipe.”
I took a bite and WOW. It’s a REALLY good cake. It’s almost like brownies but in cake form. VERY chocolate-y and VERY moist. Give it a try.
No, there are no pictures of this. I had no intention of making a blog post about a simple Hershey’s chocolate cake, but after eating it, I knew I had to share it. Seriously. If you like chocolate, try that sucker. You will thank me.
Enjoy!
