Homemade – Chocolate Cake

For Mother’s Day 2020, Sarah Beth and I took to the kitchen to make a homemade chocolate cake. After watching Joanna Gaines share her family’s favorite chocolate cake recipe, we wanted to try the recipe for ourself.

We love following the Magnolia story and everything the Magnolia brand represents, so we thought it would be fun to film our own mother-daughter baking adventure. Have you tried any of the recipes in the Magnolia Table Cookbooks? I need to add both of these cookbooks to my wishlist.

Enjoy a behind the scenes look at the recipe in action.

While we normally try to limit our sugar consumption, this cake was a special treat out of the norm for Mother’s Day. We have been spending more time than usual at home and enjoying trying new things in the kitchen. The chocolate cake was a big hit with the family and the fresh strawberries ended up being a fun surprise to cut into and enjoy eating with the cake.

Did you have any special treats that you enjoyed for Mother’s Day?

Spread the love

It had been fun to watch Sarah Beth’s idea of a Scooby Doo themed show come to life this season as the Chelsea show choir performed a solid show and brought home second place for their small mix division in all their competitions! I always enjoy capturing the many expressions of Sarah Beth on stage doing what she is so good at!

I’ve always said 35 was one of my favorite years to live out. 

Here is a walk down memory lane when we still lived life in squares. Instagram is still better than any scrapbook or camera roll to quickly relive memories!
