Today’s technically my mom’s birthday. (I’m not going to divulge her age.) We celebrated a bit more than week earlier. “Why?” you ask. Well, her excuse was the fact that last weekend was the Mid-Autumn Festival and we can nosh on moon cakes (I love the lotus seed filled ones with no yolks. I how know you traditionalists feel but I like it that way.) and chocolate caaake. Not any cake, it has to come out from the La Maison du Chocolat cookbook.
The cake turned out very good, as you can see. I’ll post up the recipe tomorrow. I need sleep with the unfortunate drama with my mom’s health (so many tests involved with her and going back and forth, talking to various doctors) and work.
