CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATE SNACK CAKE! HOLIDAY ADVENTURES IN ATLANTA!
Are you looking for a quick and delicious treat for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? This is one of my all time favorite recipes which will always produce a fabulous, moist snack cake, which is perfect to serve for unexpected company or the children's little house party! I love that it 's only an 8-inch cake and perfect for two people, if you prefer not to bake an 11" x 13" cake! It would be a great little after school delight for the kiddos with a big glass of milk served in a Santa mug!
Let's drop in on Miss M over in Atlanta and see what's happening this past week...
I finally received a few pictures of their Thanksgiving.....since their trip to Dallas had been cancelled due to Luke's emergency surgery in October, they were invited to join very close friends for Thanksgiving day. Luke is well loved by Little Izzy, her sweet cousin, Avery Ann and now Izzy's baby sister, Felicity! Are they precious or what?
Luke has asked for a Nutcracker this season? Where in the world he got that idea is beyond us all! Anyway, Miss M picked this guy up at Kroger for $6.00.
Snowy has been a busy elf! He decided to organize all "the babies" for a welcome home from school, one day! Love the reindeer antlers George! That was a gift from Maine Grandma a few years ago!
Snowy selected a new collection of books for his library with a snowman theme! How FUN! A new night light that projects a snowman on the ceiling was also a gift for his bedroom. Hey....I think I want one of those! Or do I? Maybe the darling wouldn't be too comfortable with a huge snowman face looking down on us????
Now...onto the Chocolate Snack cake recipe....... Only a few more days until Christmas, so enjoy the season y'all!
