baking for a birthday

as I baked this cake today. for my lovely sister-in-law's birthday.
I thought of how it is also a one-year birthday for this adastraland blog.
I always enjoy a reason to bake a cake.





























the cake is a devil's food recipe, from MS. similar to this one.
I included a layer of Nutella on the top of the bottom layer.
And then iced with a simple powdered sugar/cocoa/vanilla glaze.

And here's to one year of this little blog. I'm curious as to what it will
contain in yet another year. I guess every year when the daffodils
are blooming, I'll also have this anniversary to think about. and possibly,
a reason to bake a chocolate cake.
