How did I get this recipe?

I remember the joy I felt when I first stumbled upon this recipe for "P.S. I Love You." It was many years ago, when I was just a young girl, spending my summers with my grandmother in her cozy little kitchen. She was a master in the art of cooking and baking, and I was always eager to learn from her.

One afternoon, as we were flipping through her old recipe book, I came across a handwritten note tucked away between the pages. It was a recipe for a decadent chocolate cake with a hint of coffee, topped with a rich chocolate ganache and a sprinkle of sea salt. The name of the recipe was "P.S. I Love You," and as soon as I read the ingredients and instructions, I knew I had to try it.

My grandmother smiled as she saw the excitement in my eyes. She knew how much I loved baking, and she was more than happy to teach me how to make this special cake. Together, we gathered all the necessary ingredients and started the baking process.

As we mixed the butter and sugar, added the eggs and flour, and folded in the melted chocolate and coffee, the kitchen filled with the warm, comforting aroma of chocolate. My grandmother guided me through each step, offering tips and tricks that she had learned over the years.

Once the cake was baked and cooled, we prepared the ganache by melting more chocolate with cream and a touch of butter. The ganache was silky smooth and luxurious, and as we poured it over the cake, I couldn't help but lick the spoon clean.

The final touch was a sprinkling of sea salt, adding a subtle contrast to the sweetness of the cake. My grandmother explained that the salt would enhance the flavors and make the chocolate taste even more intense.

As we waited for the ganache to set, my grandmother poured us both a cup of hot tea. We sat at her kitchen table, savoring the moment and enjoying each other's company. The cake looked beautiful, with its glossy ganache and delicate sprinkling of salt, and I couldn't wait to taste it.

When it was finally time to cut into the cake, my grandmother handed me the knife and watched with a smile as I took my first bite. The cake was rich and moist, with a deep chocolate flavor that was complemented perfectly by the hint of coffee and the touch of salt.

I couldn't believe how delicious it was. The flavors danced on my tongue, and I felt a warm, happy feeling spread through me. I knew that this recipe would always hold a special place in my heart, reminding me of that wonderful day spent baking with my grandmother.

Over the years, I have made "P.S. I Love You" many times, sharing it with friends and family who have all fallen in love with its decadent taste. Each time I bake it, I think of my grandmother and the love and joy she brought into my life through her cooking.

As I pass down this recipe to the next generation, I hope that they will feel the same happiness and warmth that I do whenever they bake "P.S. I Love You." It's more than just a cake – it's a reminder of the love and memories that we share as a family. And for that, I am forever grateful.
