Doesn’t this look yummy? I’m actually planning ahead this year and am going to make this delectible dessert for my man for Valentines Day. He loves chocolate, so this will be a winner, I’m quite sure. And it looks so pretty too. I’m going to take a shortcut on the swirled heart on top with something store bought, but the recipe actually shows how to make those too. And, I already have a heart-shaped pan that came with my Pampered Chef cheesecake pan, so I’m ready to go. So, in case you were wondering what to do for your sweetie for Valentines, here’s your chance to impress & make him swoon with delight. Chocolate cake always gets my man! You know they say that the way to a man’s heart is through his tummy…well, I think that’s absolutely true.
Here’s the recipe, I scanned it for you, so click to open it and copy from here. This is from the February ’08 Country Home magazine.
Valentines Treat
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Rhoda, that cake looks incredible. Your husband will love it. It just looks to lovely to eat. LOL Have a wonderful day with him.
That cake looks delish! I know your Valentine will love it. What a sweet story and a testament to not settling for someone, but looking for what you really wanted-a Christian man with values like your own. I hope that you’ll have many, many valentine’s days to celebrate together.
You sound so romantic (and novelesque), when you say “my man” (lol). Sweet love story!
Happy Valentine Day to you, and Peter.

Heeee…I already know this story. 🙂 We sure had a lot of late night chats way back then. I’m happy for your new life. Birmingham sure has been a good place for you.
I am so craving chocolate cake now. And there is the best bakery down the street. LOL But I love to bake.

Rhoda,
What a great peek into your life and marriage! Sounds like you got yourself a great man and I know he got a wonderful woman!
Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed reading your account of meeting your husband. Thanks for being honest about the pain of dating. It certainly isn’t easy to meet people as you get older. I admire you for your persistence in finding a match. Using a Christian dating site is one way to meet a certain type of guy. Best wishes for your continued happiness!
