Every Thanksgiving Day, after turkey and all the fixings have had time to settle, I bring out dessert. I don't serve pumpkin pie or any other kind of pie. For us it's a chocolate birthday cake and a celebration of the three family birthdays that fall within a few days of Thanksgiving.
The cake is always our favorite chocolate truffle cake - the downright decadent, drown yourself in chocolate heaven, once a year only cake that we share on Thanksgiving. It's become our own family tradition.
The recipe is from "Good Housekeeping Illustrated Book of Desserts". I bought it years ago, but now the entire book is now available online. This is the link:

| I always bake the cake well ahead of time. It will keep for a two or three days in the fridge, and it freezes well. |
I need to get back to my fleece!
There's work to do!!
Only 28 days till Christmas!
Wishing you a beautiful week as December comes marching in!!
