Provision, even for the cake - Sept. 6

I planned to make THE chocolate cake to welcome back one of my colleagues returning after her licensure exam. I also shared the plan with our administrative manager. Well, that made it a promise, I suppose. But we decided to surprise everyone else. And ... that was before I realized that it was the night of my 13-hour Wednesday night that I needed to bake the cake (sigh... a little too late to know).

I thought I had everything needed, especially after buying the extra boxes of cake mix and chocolate pudding. It turned out ... I did not have any sour cream or yogurt. Well, it is kind of important to have so that the cake can be moist. In addition, I did not find this out until past 11pm, since I did not get home until after 10:30pm. I was so thankful that my roommie just did her grocery in the afternoon and bought an 8o.z. (the exact amount the recipe called for) package of sour cream, even though she does not normally use it. Another "coincidence," haha, we all know what it means in God's dictionary. He watches and provides, even for the cake. :-) So I did get to present the cake today to honor my colleague.

I love baking, especially when God gets His fingers into the dough, Yumm!
