About
My mother's day cake is one crazy cake,a product of my trial and error in the kitchen.It makes me drowsy and sleepy.As you go on and read the recipe,you will know why.I cherish and I love this cake,it reflects me and my weird taste and at home no one enjoyed it.Life as a mother is tedious,wacky,compelling,peaceful,serene,emotional,verbal,sometimes mean yet empowering and this is what the cake is all about.I am proud of my dark,moist and out of this world cake!
