There are few words to describe something so immediately gratifying, so impeccably perfect as a piece of your favorite chocolate cake. My Israeli aunts Amira and Miriam are really old school when it comes to hospitality.  You'll rarely show up unannounced for an afternoon tea and find that there isn't some splendid dessert or an assortment of freshly baked cookies that come sauntering out of the kitchen, as if made just for the occasion.
