Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake

Standing on a stool next to the kitchen counter, watching (and persisting in trying to help) my mom mix up cookie dough, pie crust or bowls of frosting was one of my favorite things.  My brother and sister and I would always remind her - as though she could forget - to save enough for us to lick the bowl, spoons and beaters, but just in case, we'd sneak as many spoonfuls as we could get away with before any of the dough actually made it into the oven.

With tomorrow being my first mother's day, even though I haven't done much worthy of noting yet, other than growing this little baby boy inside me for the last five months, I've made this cake for everyone who looks back as fondly as I do on those memories that helped to establish their love of baking.
