My favorite time was pre-King Arthur days, when Patty, my lovely wife, decided to make my birthday cake with the Hershey’s cocoa recipe. She got distracted by a phone call, and went to put the cake in the oven. She couldn’t figure out why it was so soupy, and she realized that she had added the frosting to the cake batter! The cake was very good, but incredibly RICH. It took us a while to eat it, and I think that we froze some of it!
