I've done a really good job at resisting temptation for nearly a year. Pizza? Sorry. Ice cream? Can't do it. Chocolate cake? Gotta pass. Tonight I gave in.
Five Flavor Cake was more than I could bear (warning: don't look on recipezaar- it actually calculates the nutritional information).
This always reminds me of my grandmother (though we use vanilla, lemon, orange, almond, and coconut extracts), and there is just something tantalizing about the combination of butter, eggs, and flavorings. I did resist the urge to completely eat the bottom of the cake (the crunchy part) straight out of the oven; but after smelling and looking at it for days on in, I caved.
I am fully aware that the combined contents of the cake could probably kill my offspring so I sit here typing to appease my guilt, a confessional if you will, knowing full well that I will pay tomorrow though not as dearly as my poor son. "The sins of the [mother] will be visited upon the sons."
