There are so many things about today I could have chosen as it has been quite a nice day really, but this was the most recent and glorious part. My Best Friend came over after school as we stayed late to guide prospective students to their interviews and we decided to spontaneously bake. We scoured my collection of cookbooks (well we looked in two) and came across what looked to be the most divine of puddings... Devils Food Cake. There are many variations of this cake (a little section before the recipe said that some use fruit, nuts and mashed potato... we did a double take two, mashed potato in a cake? It's just not right) but this one is basically just a rich chocolate cake with a meringue-esq icing (just boiled sugar and egg whites not cooked no mashed potatoe this time). It was beautiful, a masterpiece, if I do say so myself, there is still more than half left so tomorrow should be a good day too.
Cake is one of those glorious things in life that makes an unhappy person smile, as Marie Antoinette would say 'Let them eat cake'.
