Chocolate Monday: Week 12

I mentioned in my previous post how busy I have been and how much has happened during my Blogger-ville hiatus. One of the more recent events is that I turned 30! Ten years ago, it was an inconceivable thought. But, lo and bold, time sneaks up on you.

What's a birthday with no cake? So, I baked a chocolate one this weekend. The recipe itself is vegan friendly, but I used nutella as icing (my cheats way out to make baking faster) and I sprinkled flake on top. I gotta admit, I enjoyed this cake. And I do plan to make it again this coming weekend.

Do you have any baking tips? Do you have a go-to-recipe that always works? Have you baked without eggs? Let me know in the comment section!

Looks yummy! I am a baking disaster, so I buy muffin mix or cake mix, ready to go. Lol.

Belated Happy Birthday! As for the questions, in my case it's a bit like asking a fish about bicycle gears. ;)

Happy Birthday, hope you have a wonderful year. Sorry I can't answer any questions, I don't bake much. But I do have a recipe for a 7 minute microwave chocolate cake...
