10 ingredients
openrecipes
My friend Valerie makes one chocolate cake. No, I don’t mean one chocolate cake for and , one for and one for , one for and . I mean just one recipe. She serves it plain to guests after dinner, she makes it when she hears it’s your birthday and she stacks, and coats it hypercolored frosting and studs it with superheroes for her kids’ birthdays.
