Pansies are really the only flower we have growing at Christmas time in north Florida, and they make for a dramatic presentation.

old fashioned chocolate cake...avec pansies!
Over the Christmas holidays I made my mom a chocolate cake. Just found the pics so I thought I would share! I used Nigella Lawson's recipe for old fashioned chocolate cake. I will say that for the icing, I substituted sour cream and extra melted chocolate for most of the powdered sugar--you just need a bit to help it all stick together but powdered sugar can turn a smooth, subtle chocolate icing into sickeningly sweet, granulated gloop.
