Dark, chocolatey goodness....

While I enjoy cooking for my family; I really love to BAKE.

One of my favorite recipes comes from this book by Nigella Lawson.. How to be  a domestic goddess. 

It has some of the yummiest baking recipes ever. Most of my husband's family is from across the pond in England, so I  identify a bit with her recipes. We enjoyed watching her first show when it was on Style network years ago called Nigella Bites.

This is one of our favorites. It's a dense, dark, moist, chocolatey, but heavenly cake that is awesome with a morning cup of coffee.

Even though I think the recipe is  a bit fussy, it's so worth it.

The light color of the mixed batter doesn't come anywhere close to conveying how fabulous this cake is going to be. I think it's better made with organic flour, eggs and pasture butter, but that's just me. :)

 When it comes out, it's actually better to let it stand over night, but lot's of times I can hardly contain myself,

and I barely bother with a fork and just shove and entire piece in my mouth at once like the glutton I am, occasionally pausing to exhale. I found a version for you of the recipe here.
