Homebaked Shakespeare

"And to be more than what you were, you would
Be so much more the man."
(Lady Macbeth to Macbeth 1.7.50-51)

It isn't all that hard to be a better wife than Lady Macbeth. Still, I'm going to give her her props for inspiring me to bake this "Too Much Chocolate Cake" for my husband's birthday. It's in the oven right now and, given what I'm smelling, I think it is guaranteed to make him--and all of us--more than what we were. Like 5 pounds more.
