Momma's Chocolate Cake |
Oh my goodness, this photo fills me with so many emotions. Memories of Christmases long ago and then the couch - how many of you reading this remember this same couch at your house? I even think the gift she's opening is one of seasonal favorites today. It's nice to know some of the same things that brought us joy when we were little can still entertain and please children today. This recipe is one shared on social media every year. The author and the first to share on social is a mystery too. I've never made this cake but love the nostalgic feel it lends for today's blog. If you give it a try, share it on social and remember to tag me so I can see too.

One flyer has the ability to bring home our missing and exploited children, One Child at a Time. |
