Chocolate Almond Cake -Poetry-

For this little enterprise

you will chop rock almonds

and cut chocolate stars.

You will mix eggs, flour,

sparkling sugar crystals,

milk that spills over the batter,

and melted stars in exotic rum.

You will heat it at 350 grades

over the melted center of the earth

that stands in your kitchen.

Then you will cover it all over again

with a coat of chocolate and almond glace,

sparkling, sponge, magical, superb…

Fluffy clouds that in your mouth melts.

You can make the experience more heavenly

By putting a ball of snowy vanilla cream

To the left of this special rocky fudge delicate,

Where every humani, any race and all creation

Can enjoy the devilish sensation of creamy flavors.

And so, to every humani,

any race and all creation;

I will give you a stellar blessing:

“Bon appetite, buen provecho,

Enjoy this little piece of perfection.”
