An Ode to Chocolate Cake

How do I love thee, let me count the ways.

I love thee for thy deep dark chocolate.  

Warm and rich on a crisp evening.

I love thee for thy creamy caramel.

Dripping sunshine over silken spun sugar frosting.

I love thee even though there is only one perfect bite left.

At least until breakfast tomorrow!

Happy (rescheduled) National Chocolate Cake Day!
