In relation to baking, we all have another way of going over it. Some individuals follow a recipe exactly while others take a recipe and make it their own. As long as the end result turns out incredibly tasty, what does it matter? Experimenting and finding new ingredients and ways of baking is all part of people having their very own preferences and creativity. Plus, it is the way that new recipes are put into publication. There's one thing which is, in my opinion, incredibly hard to screw up - a chocolate cake recipe. There is not a chocolate cake recipe around the world that has not turned into something which I've considered to be terrible. Sure, many of them could use some enhancement, but chocolate is my weakness. So long as it turns out fluffy 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's nothing better. She never shared her recipe with anyone, she merely enjoyed all of us drooling over it and praising her skills. Her birthday cakes were the primary reason I looked forward to my birthdays. In her final year of life, she was rather sick. My birthday was a week away and she phoned me to inform me that she was extremely sorry but she wouldn't have the capacity to bake my cake. She didn't believe that she had the strength or energy. But, she wished to pass her secret chocolate cake recipe we all longed to have. Within a day, it was in my hands. I read over it, realizing that the last ingredient detailed 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 great it was. I saw the look of happiness in her eyes.
No matter how many chocolate cake recipes you will come across within your lifetime, you will also have one that you're attached to. Perhaps it just tastes the best, or possibly it has emotional significance.
