Awefully nice! Good old-fashioned chocolate cake. I used a buttercream icing and decorated with chocolate shavings. I used buttermilk for the sour milk, and created a blend of low-carb or gluten-free flours (rice, amaranth, kamut, barley) instead of white or whole wheat. It's dense and heavier, but still yummy and satisfyingly chocolatey!

I grew up on a farm and learned to cook from scratch. By age 9 I could follow a recipe.So I have been cookng for a lot of years now. Besides cooking I enjoy bible study, church, crafts, collecting rings and Christmas ornaments, reading, collecting angels and visiting with friends via E mail.
Have been married for over 30years and have four children, two of which are handicapped. The kids are all grown now and I am getting use to cooking smaller portions. Recently found out my husband has non-hodgkins-lymphomia. He will start treatment soon.
