Happy birthday, babe.



J's birthday went well yesterday.
The cake was absolutely delicious. It really turned out a lot better than I had anticipated.

Here is the recipe that I promised:

Chocolate-Chocolate Cake

- 1 package Devil's Food cake mix
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 cups (1 bag) of miniature chocolate chips

Combine powdered cake and pudding mixes with sour cream, water, vegetable oil, and beaten eggs in a large bowl.
Gradually stir in chocolate chips and gently pour batter into a well greased cake pan (this will make about 12 cups). Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until top is springy and a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean. If you are going to add icing, allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours before transferring it. The longer you let it cool, the better.

I iced James' cake with buttercream icing. O-M-G.

Here are some outtakes from the other day.
