It is finally here - Valentine's Day 2011 - a day my family yearns for all year around! Why is this day so special? It is special because of THE Valentine's Day cake my wife makes every year.
It all started when the children were in elementary school, and my wife cut a recipe out of the newspaper for a chocolate Valentine's cake. She brought the cake to the table and it was two layers, heart-shaped, and covered in a beautiful, glossy chocolate glaze. Then, she cut it and voila - the inside was full of a white, shimmery cream - it was a huge, gourmet Hostess cupcake, and much more delicious!!
Ever since, it has been a cherished tradition in our household that we look forward to every year. Although now the children are older and we don't always get to eat the cake together as a family, there is always Valentine's cake for everyone when they stop by. Nothing says love like a delicious homemade chocolate cake.
