So Phase I of Operation Making-myself-feel-better-disguised-as-compassion will consist of several actual to-do projects and recipes.
Remember this cake? When I forgot to grease the pan? Well, it is an EXCELLENT take-to-things cake.... no pan to forget, no frosting to mess. It's also oinky* enough for comfort food. I stole the recipe from Carmen.
A side note about Carmen: She & I would never be friends..... not because we wouldn't get along well either.... We would both be too geeky to make the first move. You know the "hey, you wanna come play with me?" move that most people master sometime between the ages of 2-6? Neither one of us seems to have it.... it's one of the many reasons I love reading her blog.
So, about that cake....
one chocolate cake mix (I think I usually get the kind with Hershey's syrup in it)
one box instant chocolate pudding mix (I get a big box)
4 eggs
½ c warm water
1/2 cup oil
8 ounces sour cream
Mix until satiny smooth - this is the important part, about 5 minutes. Stir in one bag of chocolate chips (or those heavenly Hershey's kisses minis). Bake in a bundt pan for 45-60 minutes, or until it tests done. This cake is best served warm, with whipped cream or ice cream, and strawberries or other fruit. It also freezes well.
*oinky -as defined by my boss- is a requirement for foods taken to people in need.

You know anything with sour cream and hersey's syrup has GOT to be good!
Oh. My. Goodness. I even happen to have all of the ingredients here at home...and a standing mixer that I got for Christmas that has been screaming for Just The Right Recipe...and a hankering for chocolate cake...
::drool::
That sounds great! I found a choc. cake recipe that looks almost as sinful as yours and am planning on making it next week...just for us...for no reason...that, my friend, is oinky.
Thanks for stopping by today and yes, I TOTALLY know the meals of which you speak...I'd give myself another two weeks before we get to that level of desparation.
