I’ll be baking our our special Italian cake with pear and chocolate for my best friend’s 40th birthday later this month, and I needed to complete a practice round. The last time I made this cake, it collapsed a bit, but was still tasty.

Today’s practice bake was a big success! The cake rose properly and everything turned out well. I can’t wait to make it again for my best friend!

Today’s #OneGoodThing with Mama was a delicious practice bake! What was your #OneGoodThing today? Please share in the comments! And remember, kindness is everything!
