I have such fond memories of this cake that I baked at the beginning of this year, a special celebration cake for Ian du Toits birthday. At that time the year still stretched ahead of us full of promise and hope for the best year ever. A year that took me from Zanzibar to Tulbagh! But sorrow was the underbelly of this years triumphs and great times. With the passing of my brother, I was reminded that we will always walk in the light. Reality is far from the carefully curated Instragram images and jubelant selfies. Thats why I chose the cake: the bitter edge of the chocolate balances out the sweet ness of the best of times and its shiny darkness and glistening berries remind me that bad times too will pass. I will bake it tomorrow to the sounds of hip-hop and heavy blues, my moms piano playing and Dean Martins crooning, silly pop songs and upbeat Mozart.
