Ryan's Birthday Dinner & Cake (OH! What a Cake!)

Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate.

Ryan's birthday! Same dinner every year, at his request - corned beef hash. The eggs have been added in recent years and are optional.

Recipe:
Ingredients:

1/2 c vegetable oil
3 cups frozen has brown potatoes
1 tin corned beef

1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground mustard

1/2 c milk
Eggs 1-2 /serving
Preparation:

Heat the vegetable oil in large pan over medium-high heat
Add frozen hash browns
Cook for about 15 minutes, turning once or twice for even browning
Add corned beef
Add mustard and allspice
Mix thoroughly and reduce heat to medium

Stir in milk
Let cook for a few more minutes browning the hash lightly on one side
Crack eggs over the top of the hash, cover and let the eggs cook to desired consistency

Served with broccoli and biscuits. Everyone likes ketchup on the their hash.

For DESSERT:
We saw this recipe on the Ultimate Recipe Showdown on the Food Channel, and Ryan said right then: "I want that cake for my birthday." So...
The recipe is here

If you ever make this cake, be prepared. It will be the sweetest thing you have ever tasted. You will only be able to eat a small piece, and it might put you into a sugar induced coma. I made a half recipe, and even that was a lot of cake. But tasty? Oh yeah...mmmmmm...
