Re: Chocolate cake. There once was a chocolate cake that I made for Alexander's birthday.  We never got round to eating it before he went to France so I froze it.  Yesterday we had it for tea.  I only meant to have one slice.  I carefully saved it for tea time, not having any for elevenses as I didn't want to overdo it.  So how come at 4pm it was as though I was heroin mainlining cake? Crack cocaine snorting cake?  I just hoovered it up and every time I finished ramming an enormous slice of many gooey layers into my mouth I cut another.  The best bit was the end with extra chocolate and plastic (fondant) icing.  I thought the double cream I poured over the top just gave it that extra loveliness.  Mr Smith had two slices too.  I was horribly full and couldn't manage my dinner four hours later.

Bleaghgh!
