My friends and family all think that I’m loosing my mind.  Why bake so much, they ask? Well, if I knew the answer to this, I might be able to get to the root of the problem and find a new hobby. But guess what, I don’t want to.  I thoroughly enjoy baking.  Even if I don’t eat but one taste, and take a photo, I’m totally satisfied.  I just picked up Paula Deen’s Chocolate Celebration magazine that just came out.  I saw it and immediately knew that I had to have it. There are many recipes bookmarked, but this one jumped out at a me.  It reminded me of Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake, which is one of my favorite desserts ever.  Hot cake and hot frosting oozing on top is nothing but purely delicious!  I don’t use Paula’s recipes very often, too much butter and mayonnaise for me.  Not that they are bad things, and I do use them a lot myself, but if I did eat like that all of the time, I would gain 10 pounds a month, and then I wouldn’t be able to stand on my bloated feet long enough to pour a glass of milk let alone bake the cookies to go with it!  This particular cake I actually made for my friend and neighbor who just had a baby.  I don’t think she was too happy with me when she saw the plate full of chocolate and snickers.  Can you say temptation? Yes, you cannot resist this cake.  I am a bad friend, and next time a friend has a baby I will bring over fresh fruit, but honestly you just had a baby.. you deserve to splurge! Anyways….if I ever made this cake again, the snickers are totally not necessary.  They do add a bit of a different texture with the caramel and the peanuts, but it was sweet enough on it’s own.  You can make your own choice, but either way this cake was delicious!
