My grandmother used to make the finest cakes. Yearly, for my birthday, she would make me a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. In my opinion, you'll find nothing better. She never discussed her recipe with anyone, she simply enjoyed all of us drooling over it and praising her skills. Her birthday cakes were the main reason I looked forward to my birthdays. In her final year of life, she was quite sick. My birthday was a week away and she called me to tell me that she was extremely sorry but she wouldn't be able to bake my cake. She didn't believe that she had the strength or energy. But, she desired to pass her secret chocolate cake recipe that we all longed to get. Within a day, it was in my hands. I just read over it, realizing that the last ingredient outlined was "love". My eyes welled up and I made a decision that I would be baking my very own birthday cake that year. I did exactly that, following her chocolate cake recipe to the exact details. On the night of my birthday, I took my grandmother a piece of cake. She ate it very slowly, telling me how great it was. I saw the look of happiness in her eyes.
