National Chocolate Cake Day


















Yesterday was National Chocolate Cake Day, and we missed it. Today will be spent mourning this fact. We have a really special chocolate cake to show you, too, though it isn't scheduled till tomorrow,

Actually, there are so many National [insert name of food here] Days that it's hard to keep up. Look at all the special days we've already missed this month:
  • January 5th, National Whipped Cream Day. We can do amazing things with chocolate and whipped cream.
  • January 6th, National Shortbread Day. We should have shared the recipe for chocolate-dipped Earl Grey Shortbread.
  • January 8th, English Toffee Day. We've got a great recipe for that, too.
  • January 10th, Bittersweet Chocolate Day. Can't believe we missed that!
  • January 16th, International Hot and Spicy Food Day. Chocolate and chilies are a venerable combination.
Fortunately, January is both National Candy Month and National Egg Month,  so we're covered.
