Today is National Chocolate Cake Day. There was a time when chocolate was my very favorite flavor. While I still love it, I often opt for something else, often lemon. But put a piece of dark chocolate anything in front of me and I can't resist.
I would love to make a cake today, but as my kids are off on vacation, I would have to eat it all by myself. Not that I couldn't accomplish the task. I do have some recipes for chocolate cake in a mug - for one- so that may be my dessert this evening.
I looked at all of my Pinterest pins and there are several cakes I want to make, especially a couple of flourless varieties. If you are looking for recipes, you can check some out at these links:

One of my favorite chocolate desserts is a chocolate cake and pumpkin mousse. Alas, I've never put the recipe on my computer. It is made with chocolate chiffon cake. The pumpkin mousse is great all on its own, and the cake is a great treat at Thanksgiving.
Are you a chocolate fan? Dark or milk? What is your favorite flavor?
