Not me.

This cake is seriously easy and it makes the best, gluten free chocolate cake. I saw it sitting on the counter the other morning, staring me down as I made my breakfast smoothie, and I was so tempted to grab a slice. But, I held myself off and got to enjoy some that evening instead.

Oh, I wish I could dig in again.
