My most recent article for Table Matters had me taking on my grandma Betty’s Hungarian chocolate cake again.

I was a bit trepidatious, but I knew I had a wonderful story to tell and I wanted to master that cake. Or at least finish it to completion. And I did. I followed her recipe exactly, with a couple small tweaks here and there, and I did it.

It might not look like the fanciest cake. Sure, there are no layers swathed in pretty buttercream or sprinkles or whatever else. But it’s rich and flavorful and perfect in so many ways.

And I did it. I baked my grandma’s Hungarian Chocolate cake and I couldn’t be more proud.
