National Chocolate Cake Day

Some of you may be aware, and others may not, that today, January 27th, is National Chocolate Cake Day!!! Sounds crazy, I know, but even if you don't believe me, it's a thing (look it up, really, I'm not lying!) So anyway, in honor of this special day, I've been on a mission throughout the day to find recipes and pictures that look amazing to share with all of you!


Recipes: There are hundreds of thousands of recipes out there for chocolate cake alone, and no way I could make all of them (or any of them actually... I chose to make snickerdoodles instead today!). So I decided I would share recipes I've found by well-known chefs and brands, and you readers may take your pick!

• Ina Garten: Beatty's Chocolate Cake
• Hershey's: Hershey's Chocolate Cake
• Nigella Lawson: Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake
• Aaron Sanchez: Mexican Molten Chocolate Cake
• Paula Deen: Chocolate Sour Cream Pound Cake
• The Neelys: Gina's Flourless Chocolate Cake
• Ghirardelli: German Chocolate Cake

And to get you excited about baking, eating, or just staring (online) at chocolate cakes, here are some pictures of cake (come on, how could I resist? Too delicious!)

Considering I don't think I will end up having any chocolate cake today, I'm convinced I'm just torturing myself so I should probably stop. And for all you vanilla people out there, this one's just for you:

You're welcome :)

Well that wraps up this post. Just wanted to give you some fun pictures to look at and share my love (everyone's love) of chocolate. 

Happy eating!
