NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY

Oznell — Sun, 27 Jan 2019 11:45:46 GMT

It's today. Never heard of it before, but can get aboard.

If they don't have any during the "snackage" period at church, what to do? Quick trip to bakery? German chocolate? Mmmm, icing a mixed tawny and deep brown sugary deliciousness...

Do they still make "Hostess Cupcakes", ha.

@Oznell, We have “snackage,” too, but never chocolate cake. Hostess Cupcakes would work for me!

Guess I will have to skip it ... I had the best ever chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting earlier this month - got it for my son’s birthday from a local bakery. And, I gotta tell you - it was so yummy! Kinda like me loving the taste of a Reese’s peanut butter cup - but 100 times better!!

Yep, better definitely skip any sweets for awhile ... there was not one crumb left or an inkling of frosting left from that one!! 😂 Soooooooo good!!

When I was a kid Sara Lee had this chocolate cake in a tin. It had thick frosting on it.

It was one of the best chocolate cakes I can remember having.

My sister and I talk about that cake to this day, LOL.

There's a day for everything now, it's getting a little silly. But, if I'd known about Chocolate Cake Day I would have made one. I have cake mix and a can of frosting that I didn't use over the holidays. I see it every time I open the cabinet.

I didn’t know either otherwise I would’ve made one.

I have half a German Chocolate Cake in my freezer.

I already made a deep dish apple pie this afternoon, and it is too late now to thaw the cake out. My youngest son is coming for dinner tonight. He and my DH will eat whatever dessert I make.

My DH has a BD next week and has asked for white cake with chocolate frosting. Is there a day for white cake?

Yes! This was one, I’ll be right over.

That thick icing is calling me.

@Drythe....it took me a long time to find that cake. It did really look pretty to me.....and oh so delicious looking too. Looked homemade, not bakery kind......

Little side story: I just got back from a Sunday evening class I attend. We had been idly chatting before class, there was a pause in the conversation, and I just blurted out that it was National Chocolate Cake Day. It got everybody perked up again and talking like crazy-- I guess chocolate does that to people.....

@ShowMe-

You know it's against the law not to ice the whole thing, right?!

I know this is the in thing now but except for the Macaroni Grill chocolate cake drizzled with chocolate, it really is against the law😎
