I love baking.
Whenever there is an event at which baked goods are desired, you can find me volunteering...sometimes being volunteered before I even know about the event...to bring a sweet treat.
Now, I don't actually have much of a sweet tooth.
No really! I don't. Sure, I like cookies, candy, cakes. And I do love me some good dark chocolate. But I don't crave it ever. If I get a craving at all, it's usually for a crunchy, salty something or other.
Still...I love to bake and to make treats filled with love for people I like.
But when I volunteered to make the baked goodness for the party, I had extra special incentive to make something filled with lots of love and pride for a job well done1, enveloped in the gooey-est, chocolate-y-est, sweet treat of them all.
Hence, the dark chocolate kahlua cake with chocolate ganache was given life in the Grotto kitchen.
And oh-my-god-of-all-things-chocolate-and-gooey-and-hedonistic...
It was unbelievable.
*takes bow* Thank you. Thank you very much.

oh..ma..gah...I think I just lost control of my salivary glands...
I realize that I have already emailed and posted on facebook about but really I cannot stress enough how freaking amazing that cake was. Even Becky who doesn't care for chocolate cake said that it was fantastic. BRAVO Ms. Jane once again!
