On the back of the Hersheys Cocoa can is a chocolate cake recipe that I love. My favorite, actually. I just didn't add my usual Hershey's frosting but added chocolate chips..and a dusting of sugar. GREAT with coffee. I know, I know, lame..but hey, I am at least in there..kinda...
p.s. Now my dishes I AM proud of. They are Royal Doulton and are called SPRING in a series of four seasons from the Brambly Hedge Collection. ~smile~ I have all four of them and I love them!
Yum...looks delicious and I love your pretty green cake stand too.

Wow that's a great first share! Thank you and welcome to the fun!
ReplyDeleteIt look wonderful and I prefer the less than perfect bloggers who make me feel like I am not totally out of step to the ones who must have gotten a doctorate at Bloggy College. And the cake stand is just lovely.

URSULA'S CHOCOLATE CHIP APPLE PIE
ReplyDeletePastry for 2 crust pie
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate pieces
Cinnamon sugar
6-8 tart apples (peeled, cored & thinly sliced 6 c.)
Combine sugar and ground cinnamon; mix with apples. Turn into an unbaked pie shell. Top with chocolate pieces. Cover with top crust, cutting slits for escape of steam. Seal; flute edges. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
I knew there was a recipe out there. Never tried this one...so you're on your own. Balisha
