National Chocolate Cake Day | Chocolate Cake Shots

If you are able to make this recipe for National Chocolate Cake Day in the middle of the afternoon, you are having a better Monday than me, I already know. Oh, what I wouldn’t give to have day drinking on my calendar for today.

Instead of dwelling on the fact that I have to work today, I’ll tell you a story. When I turned 21, I was so boring, opting for appletinis at Applebee’s with a couple of friends to celebrate my coming of age. Looking back at it now, I’m embarrassed by my choice of “fun”.

As that year went on, however, I tried new things and slowly understood that my choice of birthday celebration was rather lame. One drink that I came to love, and still love, was the chocolate cake shot. Given that neither chocolate nor cake are my favorite things in the world, it’s a wonder why I even enjoy this shot. It’s remained my favorite shot all these years.

It’s not complicated and it’s so tasty that when I saw a day celebrating chocolate cake, the dessert itself didn’t even cross my mind. Cheers to you, cheers to Mondays (?!?!), and cheers to these shots that have provided me with 8 years of delicious fun.
