For my bridal shower, my best friend, Sadie C. had everyone bring a few of their favorite recipes. (Then they all copied it onto beautiful recipe cards. What a great idea, huh?) This was one that she gave me in that collection. Still love my Sadie! If you like homemade cakes, this is a great one.

3/4 c. cocoa
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c. boiling water

I love food! I love sweet pepper sauce and I've always had a love affair with D'anjou Pears. Hence the Blog name. But it could have just as easily been something to do with my other favorite ingredients, like coconut, almonds, nutmeg, sugar peas, mangoes, chocolate, cilantro, tomatoes, olives, pasta... well the list goes on and on.
Poetry
If ever there was a poetic fruit, pears are it. Possibly pomegranates, strawberries, peaches, grapes, and certainly mangoes. Well, there goes the plug for my poetic pear.
