Chocolate loaf.

When I walked to work the other day, I passed this woman who smelt like chocolate. Melted chocolate. Chocolate walking around in lady form. She smelt so strongly of chocolate, that I couldn't stop thinking about chocolate cake all day.

8 hours later, after having dinner, I made a chocolate cake. Finally. I'd never made this particular cake before, but it was perfect. Dense and chocolatey. I actually think it was better cold, rather than when it was straight out of the oven.

This isn't a particularly fancy cake. Just a good, chocolate cake.
