I surprised Adam last night with a homemade bday cake. This was the most delicious, chocolate-y, moist cake ever. the chocolate cake is a depression-era recipe that my mom gave me. The recipe doesn't call for eggs, so it was a popular recipe then because of food shortages. Then I made a homemade oreo cream cheese icing, amazing! Check out the recipe for the cake below:
