It is National Chocolate Cake Day.  Join the Festive Foodies as we celebrate.........

Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla invited us to celebrate with her by sharing a chocolate cake of some sort.  I was happy to join in the fun.....who doesn't love chocolate cake?

I had all these visions of the chocolate cake I could make and share.  Perhaps a multiple layer cake with chocolate mousse between the layers.  Or a Black Forest Cake, my all time favorite.  

Then reality hit.  There was no way I was going to find the time to make an elaborate cake.  Heck, I'd be lucky to find time to even make a cake!!!  Then I came upon this easy peasy recipe over at the King Arthur Website. 

The Angel Face and I put this together when she came home from school and we enjoyed it for dessert after dinner.  See the duck lips?  That's what happens when a little girl gets a new teen-aged aunt.

She helped me to unwrap the kisses that I used as frosting to make this cake even easier.  We placed the kisses on top as soon as we took the cake out of the oven.  Then I placed the cake back into the oven, that was still warm but turned off, for a few minutes to soften the kisses so they could be spread over the top of the cake.

Before I share my adaptation to this recipe, let's drool over the other chocolate cakes being shared today......
