Double Innie

Double Innie

psssst !! Word on the street says TODAY is !! National Chocolate Chip Day !!

YaY

& to honor such a delightful occasion, I offer one of my yummiest reruns.

Enjoy

Chocolate Chip Cake.
uh huh
You heard right.

Chocolate. Chip. Cake.
yep.
It does taste just as good as it sounds.

My Granny would make this sweet treat on special occasions.
Mom too.
Me too.
Chocolate Chip Cake has been with my family forever.
It is the #1 request at birthday parties and gatherings.
Why ?
Because it is SO. DARN. GOOD.

& way back in the day when it was cake eating time ?
This perfect deliciousness would be sliced up, passed around and happily scarfed down.
Yum and Done.
It was as simple as that.

There were no choices,
no pauses
no I want this or that.
Nope.
You got what you got
& if you happened to get the just as tasty but not as eyeball appealing corner of this chocolate chip wonder ?
Oh well.
Tough luck.
Be happy you got anything
& did you know there are starving children in this world ?

But somewhere down this dessert road, SOMEONE wasn’t satisfied with the slice they were handed.
Nope.
THEY wanted an inner piece, an INNER inner
& talk about a ! stop everything ! game changer.

wait.
what ???

& so began the legend, the Legend of Double Innie.

Being handed an “innie” was considered pleasantly fine until THAT. VERY. MOMENT.
But, here’s the thing.
An innie has an outer edge.
A Double Innie does not.

A Double Innie has no borders.
It is the lovely lump of chocolate chip bliss, right smack dab in the heavenly middle

&
oooooooooo
yeahhhhhhhhh

Yeah.

Which brings me back to these days
& these day, it seems we all want that Double Innie.
It’s THE desired piece,
the MUST HAVE.
Yes, consider yourself lucky and very much envied to be the person of honor
because YOU get first dibs, YOU get that Double Innie.

oh, yes.
you do.

No need to fret though, my friend.
There is absolutely no cause for alarm if handed an innie because it really is a very fine, extremely tasty treat.
It’s just not a Double Innie.

boo.

& whatever became of that big dud of a corner piece, you ask ?
That’s now called Double Outtie
& unfortunately, he’s always the last to go.
Nobody wants that guy until leftovers.
It’s sad, but it’s true.

Oh and just so you know,
if you want to bring brownies to this somewhat odd but honest ! we are harmless ! place known as our family table ?
Same rules apply so please, plan accordingly.
Because a Double Innie Brownie …?…

Oh.

Yeah.

🙂

  1. Always a favorite in our family. Recipe has been given to many people in many states where we have lived. Even had my pic in the paper with the recipe in Illinois. Years and years of this prize cake.
