"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Every Sunday when going over Gram's house for Sunday dinner, she would quite often bake a chocolate cake to have with coffee. She would use Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake mix and bake it in an Angel Food cake pan (or a bundt pan). She would never use canned frosting - blasphemy! - but would always make her own buttercream frosting. She used to show me how to frost a cake so it would look bakery perfect. She would always decorate her cake with rainbow colored sprinkles - the little round balls. This recipe is my own favorite buttercream frosting and I bake this cake for my family to look as close to what Gramma's looked like on a Sunday afternoon...and always with coffee.
