Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

So I had some friends over for dinner tonight, and while I was getting
the house ready, I was chatting with Damsel in rfc chat, and she got
me wanting to make chocolate cake.

I have never made chocolate cake before.

So I looked at the recipe for Black Magic Cake (
http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipes/detail.asp?id=4754&page=1&per=1&keyword=black%20magic%20cake#
) and thought to myself, "Hey, I have all that stuff, I think."

Got out the pan, started making the cake, and realized I had no
vegetable oil, just extra-virgin olive oil. What the hell, I tossed
it in.

So basically, my first (or "virgin"😉 chocolate cake had extra virgins
in it.

Moistest cake I've ever had. It's nearly gone. Yum. Yum. Yum!

(Dinner was good, too. A "roasted" theme. Spaghetti with roasted
tomato sauce and roasted garlic. Roasted asparagus. Tomato salad
(not roasted). And the cake, along with some ice cream for those who
wanted it. Very good all around.)

That is absolutely my favorite chocolate cake recipes, and it's been the base for
many a birthday cake around these parts. I've never found a recipe that turns out as
moist and chocolaty as that one. I sometimes add Medaglia D'Oro instant espresso,
which makes it even more divine.
