My Priceless Chocolate Cake Recipe

Resistance is futile! It is sure hard to resist the sweet smell of chocolate cake, especially when the aroma is linked with nice memories.

My mom is a very open person, and always ready to share. Not only is she always giving good advice, but she can share with you all the things that she knows. Whether it is cooking, sewing or advanced mathematics, she is always ready to give you the most efficient teaching lesson. There is one thing, however, that she guards jealously. It is her biggest secret, and she had promises that she will carry to the grave. And that is her chocolate cake recipe. We have been trying to get it from her for years, and have so far been unsuccessful.

This is not just a normal chocolate mix cake recipe. This is seriously gourmet. It isn't an easy chocolate cake recipe, either. Chocolate cake is usually pretty easy to make, but hers demands all day and all night. She is plainly in there for 12 hours at a time, slaving away on the perfect chocolate cake. But it is great. It is priceless. It is the most delicious thing that I have ever tasted. I could do anything to get that chocolate cake recipe.

The thing is, in general my mom isn't all that into chocolate. She rarely makes chocolate brownies. When she goes to a restaurant she won't even order a chocolate brownie. But that chocolate cake recipe is her preferred thing in her life. She cooks it every holiday, and each holiday we ask for more. No one ever gets sick of it. Even my friends, strict vegetarians who may only consume vegan chocolate cake recipes usually, will make an exception for her delicious chocolate cake. It really is that great.

The really sad part is that, since I first tasted that chocolate cake, I can not eat any other kind of chocolate desert. Even the finest German chocolate cake recipe leaves me flat. Part of it is that my mom baked it. It is hard to resist because she spends so much time on it, and clearly wants us to like it so much. I am not sure if I would like it quite as much if it were someone else who made it, but nevertheless I would love it still. After all, she has won many cookingcompetitions with her chocolate cake recipe. She has only participated a few times, but every time she has entered the same recipe, and every time she has won. It was no use to try to sneak in the kitchen. She simply refused to go on cooking until I left. I hope some day she will reveal her recipe.
