on Oct 12, 2015, Updated May 04, 2023 105 Comments When I think of celebrations, good news, and a party, I immediately think of my favorite chocolate cake recipe. It is one of those cake recipes I can practically make with my eyes closed. I’ve made it so many times. But today, I added a delicious touch of whipped mocha ganache filling that I piled between the layers and a dark chocolate buttercream that I think you’ll love. So, now that I’ve told you about this cozy chocolate cake of mine, let’s talk a little bit about the news I want to share with you and why I call it celebration cake. I am writing a cookbook. Lord have mercy, just typing those words thrills me and makes me a nervous wreck all at the same time! The cookbook, being published by Clarkson Potter, is based on the blog and will be filled with brand-spanking new recipes (and a few favorites) that I think y’all are absolutely going to love! As with the blog, the book is a modern take on traditional Southern food that celebrates simple, fresh, and delicious recipes for the whole family! The book is not scheduled to release until 2017, and while I promise not to overshare every single detail of working on the book and the number of times a day I wash dishes (lots!), I do promise to keep you guys in the loop. Because seriously, this book is for YOU! Without y’all, it wouldn’t be possible and I want to make sure it is a book that you find useful and beautiful, and one that you want to share with your friends and family, too! I want the pages of your book to be splatter stained from use with your favorite pages dog-eared. I want it to be loved on and for you to know that I put love into every one of the recipes that is included. Thank you so much for your comments, emails, and encouragement. Your love and support mean the world! Here’s the recipe for my Celebration Chocolate Cake. I hope you guys love it nearly as much as I love you! Love y’all!Robyn xo
