Attitude of Graditude - November 4th

I am grateful for having all the ingredients to make The Best Chocolate Cake Ever.....without having to make a trek to the store......

Shannon Cooks (not the Pioneer one)

Okay I'm sure that most, if not all of you know who The Pioneer Woman is or at least you have heard of her....if you haven't....then climb out from under the rock you have been living under and check out her website.....so she has a recipe for The Best Chocolate Cake Ever and NO I don't want to even come close to knowing how many calories it is......or how bad it is for me......I had everything on hand to make this delicious, wonderful cake so I just decided to do it!

I just had to take photos of the process........

The flour, sugar and salt mixture

the mixture that makes it chocolate....butter, cocoa, vanilla and water (see there is an ingredient that is good for you)

then we mix this all together and pour it into the pan to bake.....

as this is baking you make the frosting.....which includes more butter, cocoa, milk (another ingredient that does a body good) and pecans......

after the cake is baked....you pour this goodness all over it........

but of course you can't have something this warm and yummy just sitting here looking good......so grab a fork and a ice cold glass of milk......

And if you feel the need to make yourself some of this wonderful stuff.....just head on over to the The Pioneer Woman  - I bet your family will LOVE you....
