April is a month of birthdays in our family. Not that we ever get tired of cake, but we sure have plenty of it! For my younger sister’s birthday, I asked what kind of cake she would like this year.

“Chocolate,” she said emphatically.

No problem! I made chocolate cake, chocolate icing, and poured half a bag of chocolate chips on top for garnish.

I could eat this cake for three meals a day. Confession: there was a leftover piece after the official birthday party, but I did not send it home with the birthday girl. I ate it right off the cake plate the next day. At least I used a fork. I have some dignity.
