Come Party With Me: My Birthday Party — Dessert
I'm pretty traditional when it comes to birthdays and I can't remember celebrating one without a special cake. It may come as a shock, but every year, I make my own birthday cake.

This recipe for a rich, dense chocolate cake is simple, straightforward, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Since my party is at a bar, 15 Romolo, I'll show up early enough for the bartenders to securely store the cake in a refrigerator.
