I just wanted to share this OUTSTANDING Chocolate Cake recipe I used to make my awesome Halloween Cake with!
I decorated it with a luxurious chocolate frosting all over, sprinkled with some coconut (dyed in 2 drops of food coloring), along with 2 "maizena" cookies dipped in the chocolate frosting for the cake as tomb stones with mini chocolate kisses aligned around the graves, sprinkled with crushed chocolate crackers as the dirt and a cone shaped chocolate glued by the icing on a chocolate frosted maria biscuit as a witches hat!
I swear, I don't think I've ever tasted a cake so chocolatey as this one, so creamy, so pure...!

Gyaru (ギャル, Gyaru) is a Japanese transliteration of the English word gal. The name originated from a 1970s brand of jeans called "gals", with the advertising slogan: "I can't live without men", and was applied to fashion- and peer-conscious girls in their teens and early twenties. Its usage peaked in the 1980s and has gradually declined.

Khipu recovered from graves on the coast of Peru
The ancient Andean empire built great cities but left no written records – except perhaps in mysterious knotted strings called khipu. Can an anthropologist and some mathematicians crack the code?
