Have you ever wondered how many birthday cakes you have had over the years? One day I will sit and calculate how many... but not only that, my "favourite cake" changes over time. I do recall one very special birthday as a child where I was able to have an Ice Cream Cake, and then there was the cake I had for my 10
th birthday party which was a Chocolate Marshmallow cake - Yum! I have just baked a cake which has recently become a favourite at our place.

Ahh, at last a blog that celebrates the important things in life and work - chocolate cakes!
I've been trying to think of a clever Learning 2.0 mnemonic, but maybe we'll all be having so much fun we'll forget we're learning and we won't need one.

Phoaw! Looks like a healthy recipe!
I remember having a birthday for my 8th birthday which was in the shape of an eight. It was iced to look like a racing track and there were matchbox cars racing around it.
Looks like a great recipe, thanks for sharing it, you can't beat a good chocolate cake!
