When it comes to baking, we all have a different way of going over it. Some people stick to a recipe exactly while some take a recipe and make it their own. As long as the outcome works out incredibly tasty, what does it matter? Experimenting and finding new ingredients and ways of baking is all part of people having their own preferences and creativity. Plus, it's the method in which new recipes are placed into publication. There's one thing that is, for me, incredibly tough to mess up - a chocolate cake recipe. There is not a chocolate cake recipe in existence that hasn't become something which I've thought to be terrible. Sure, some of them can use some improvement, but chocolate is my weakness. So long as it turns out light and moist, I'm in heaven.

My grandmother used to make the best cakes. Every year, for my birthday, she would make me a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. For me, there is nothing better. She never discussed her recipe with anyone, she merely enjoyed we all drooling over it and praising her skills. Her birthday cakes were the key reason I looked forward to my birthdays. In her final year of life, she was quite sick. My birthday must have been a week away and she phoned me to tell me that she was extremely sorry but she wouldn't be able to bake my cake. She did not feel that she had the strength or energy. But, she wanted to pass along her secret chocolate cake recipe we all longed to have. In a day, it was within my hands. I just read over it, realizing that the last ingredient outlined was "love". My eyes welled up and I made a decision that I would be baking my very own birthday cake that year. I did exactly that, following her chocolate cake recipe to the exact details. On the night of my birthday, I took my grandmother a piece of cake. She ate it very slowly, telling me how wonderful it was. I saw the look of happiness in her eyes.
No matter how many chocolate cake recipes you will find in your lifetime, you'll also have one that you're attached to. Perhaps it just tastes the best, or maybe it has emotional significance.
