Drops of Jupiter

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken. Your best friend always sticking up for you, Even when I know you’re wrong? Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance. Five-hour phone conversation. The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?” Drops of Jupiter, Train

This song drives me crazy since I was 11 years old: it is one of my favorites, and for me it’s an evergreen as well as chocolate chip cake of mum Maria.

This recipe is deeply connected to one of my best friends, Annamaria, because when I was in middle school and I was going to her house to play after studying, her mom Maria most of the times surprised us with a sweet treat, a slice (well, actually, two or three slices :D) of her chocolate chip cake! Despite the fact it’s a really simple cake, it is so soft and delicious that you will never get tired of having it for breakfast or tea time, or anytime you need a pleasant moment. Are you ready to bake it?

Stay tuned!
