Calling all recipes!
Ok, not ALL recipes. Really I want from scratch recipes for chocolate cake. I've been testing out chocolate cake recipes for Addi's birthday and still haven't found the "perfect" one. I have a delicious buttercream icing recipe and we've had lots of good chocolate cake recently, but none of them have just put me over the top. I like it to be moist and fairly dark and not taste like a chocolate chip...no sheet cakes or anything resembling a sheet cake. Nothing against those, it's just not what I'm looking for right now. Please share your chocolate cake recipes with me!!! You can post it as a comment or email it if you don't want to share with any blog lurkers. My email address is my first and last name, all lower case letters at hotmail.com.

Alfredo Sauce
This is by far and away the best alfredo sauce I've eaten. Beyond good!
1/2 c butter
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 c heavy whipping cream, room temperature or slightly warmed
1/4 t white pepper
1/2 c shredded parmesan cheese
3/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese
Melt butter over med/low heat. Mix together garlic, cream, and pepper...add to butter and stir often while bringing it slowly to simmer. Add parmesan cheese, stir or whisk until melted and smooth. Stir frequently and simmer 8 - 10 minutes until sauce is thickened and smooth. When sauce has thickened, add mozzarella cheese and stir quickly until smooth. Serve immediately over pasta.
**We add grilled chicken cut into thin strips and ate it over spinach linguine --- everything together was unbeatable. Delicious!
