Just like I promised on Monday, we are indulging in classics this week! Everyone needs a classic chocolate cake recipe in their arsenal and this is the ONE I run to every time I get a birthday request for chocolate, which is very often in my family (#chocoholics).

I didn’t realize there was no simple chocolate cake recipe on the blog until recently when a friend texted me asking for my favorite chocolate cake recipe. I said “check the blog chica, I am busy right now” and she said “Well I did but there is always something with your chocolate cake. Caramel, peanut butter or something”. I was stunned and realized I’ve failed as a blogger or I just cannot do chocolate on its own (the latter me think). Either way, it is my goal to fix that this year! I need to share with you my favorite basic go-to recipes that I use to build a lot of other creations.

You guys! I am still on my grapefruit kick. After a few recipes the past few weeks like this winter citrus tart or these sparkling grapefruit cocktails, I am still buying these juicy fruits by the bag. My grocery store carries delicious Florida grapefruits and I just can’t get enough of them!

And what do you do with extra fruit in my house? We bake a cake of course!! This grapefruit orange pound cake is a winter citrus delight that I am sure you will love as much as we did here. It came at the perfect time with all the blizzards and cold fronts on the East coast and all I want to do is bundle up inside, zest grapefruits, oranges and lemons and bake this pound cake up. Your house will smell so good, you will forget you live in a tundra, at least that is how I survived 🙂
