My grandmother used to make the best cakes. Yearly, for my birthday, she would bake me a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. I believe, there is nothing better. She never discussed her recipe with anyone, she just enjoyed we all drooling over it and praising her skills. Her birthday cakes were the key reason I looked forward to my birthdays. In her final year of life, she was rather sick. My birthday must have been a week away and she phoned me to inform me that she was incredibly sorry but she wouldn't have the capacity to make my cake. She did not believe that she had the strength or energy. But, she wished to pass her secret chocolate cake recipe we all longed to get. Within a day, it was in my hands. I just read over it, noticing that the last ingredient detailed was "love". My eyes welled up and I decided 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 fantastic it was. I saw the look of happiness in her eyes.
