Yikes!

An empty cake plate!

Well, I certainly let Monday slip up on me!  Did you know that it was National Chocolate Cake Day?  A local TV station featured four different chocolate cakes on their mid-day program!  I will now have to play "catch-up" and work on getting this cake plate covered with a chocolate cake!

Can you believe the weather forecast for the southern coastal areas?  We heard that New Orleans has closed down for today because of ice!  And - the wind chills for some areas are unbelievable!

I hope those of you in the path of this most recent wave of winter weather will be safe and warm!

Now - a chocolate cake recipe to anticipate!  Yum!

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

    I love that cake plate and it definitely needs a chocolate cake to sit on it.

    As for the weather, me, I am always glad to share the cold, ice and snow with the southern states. :-)

    I would have made a chocolate cake had I known. Drat. I will have to make one anyway.
    That is some pretty cold weather, I saw that about New Orleans. That is just crazy.
    Well I hope you stay warm today.

    How adorable is that cake plate!! It's perfect for our frigid temps and excessive snow. Another day home. Even my University is closed. What a wild winter.

    Hi, As much as I LOVE to eat, chocolate cakes or cookies are NOT my fav's... I'd choose most any cake over chocolate... Crazy, aren't I? haha

    Stay WARM today... Brrrrrr.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Get busy Nellie and fill that cake plate. I can't stand to think of it empty . Make it double chocolate.

    The wind is howling on the river in front of our house and chocolate cake sounds might nice.

    Hugs,
    JB

    You bake that chocolate cake and I'll sit here and freeze. Brrrr, it's cold! Schools are closed around here again this week, but so far it hasn't been quite as bad as they were predicting... and I'm totally okay with that!

    Can you imagine New Orleans being closed down because of ice? This is a wicked winter and I am going to be more than happy to see Spring roll around.

    Yep- guess I missed Chocolate cake day, too- xo Diana

    Love your cake plate, it's perfect for cake day! Too bad for NOLA! It's still below 0 here in Chicago area, with nothing but snow outside.

    Sounds like a good way to spend some time. We have an arctic blast here. It warmed up to 0!

    I think this winter everyone should eat a lot of chocolate just to get thru the winter. Love that cute dish too.

    If I only had the recipe, I could help you fill that cake with one of the yummy treats we have enjoyed on our cruise! It's called Warm Chocolate Melting Cake, and it's like a thin layer of chocolate cake spread and baked over a thick, luscious pudding, served warm with vanilla ice cream. One word---SINFUL!!!! :-)
