Dinner with Jennie and David. Bread from Jason, chocolate cake from me. The cake recipe is from the Times, and pretty normal (albeit very moist and tasty); the frosting was a little odd (and a little divisive; one guest loved it, Jason didn't, I liked it a lot with the cake but not by itself): nothing more than melted chocolate and sour cream mixed together. It could have been a touch sweeter, and maybe a little corn syrup would have taken care of that.

I forgot to add about the cake: it is called Dump-It cake, and it was meant to be baked in a tube pan. Lots of commenters online had trouble with leaking, and since I didn't want to risk using a bundt pan, I made it in a 9x13 glass dish, lined with parchment. That worked well; I then divided it and stacked the layers. If I made it again I wouldn't bother---I would just use all the frsoting on top.
