Strongbow hard cider - and chocolate cake

[Guest guest]

We went out for my dad's birthday this weekend to a place called Yard House,

which has tons of different beers on draft. i'm not a beer drinker, so I was

happy to see a couple of kinds of hard cider on the list -- I like

Woodchuck, that was my " beer " of choice in college, but decided to try

Strongbow because I had never had it. That stuff is awesome, very light and

sweet! Looked it up online today and found that it's the best-selling cider

in the UK, and I can see why. Just had to share.

 

Daddy requested a " small " chocolate cake, made from my not-so-secret recipe

from the back of the Hershey's cocoa powder box. That recipe really is

fool-proof -- I halved it and it still turned out perfect! It was also a

good excuse to go buy two 6 " cake pans, too -- now I can make darling mini

cakes! (I get way too excited about cake... and cookies... and brownies!)

 

Hope everybody else had a good weekend with lots of good food and drink,

too!

I'm glad you had a great time Audrey! But just a heads up for people Strongbow

is packed with artificial sweeteners, I know some people are not good on them so

it is worth letting you know.

than Strongbow!)
