Based off of a wacky cake recipe from my great grandmother, I’ve refined it over years of baking and this time we topped it with a newer chocolate cream cheese frosting recipe. What else would you expect from a Thunder Cake? The book has a cake recipe in the back of it, but during our most recent storm M begged and begged me to make a Thunder Cake, so we turned to my finely tuned chocolate cake recipe.
Of course, the cake is multilayered chocolate and smothered in a chocolate frosting, topped with strawberries. In it, a grandma distracts her granddaughter into being brave in the face of a thunderstorm by getting her to assist in baking a “Thunder Cake”, which apparently tastes best when baked during a storm. She has a book called Thunder Cake., which frequently surfaces when a storm hits. Thankfully, we’re usually spared the scary green skies of tornadoes (knock on wood) and instead treated to lightning shows and rumbles of thunder that make the rarely-used china in our cabinets rattle. One of my favorite things about living in the Midwest are summer storms.
