Friday's Birthday Cake

Now you can have your cake and drink it, too! Every year since I was a kid, my mother has always made me an almost-savory Mexican chocolate cake. It's mostly comprised of spices, ground dark chocolate and ground almonds. Oh. My. God. SO delicous. She covers the whole thing with a rich dark chocolate ganache and draws a spiderweb atop in simple white sugar icing. I look forward to it every year, especially paired with a cafecito!

This year, I'm so happy to share my birthday cake with you in two forms: as a tasty tasty tea, and as a recipe so you can bake this treat at home yourself! This tea will be available every November!

Approximately 70mg of caffeine per cup
