Oh my goodness! This is for all the chocoholic's out there who like to taste more chocolate in their cakes than flour or any of that other stuff^_~. This is very much like a large round of fudge. Which is why it serves so many people. Read more It does not rise very high AT ALL so it is not a good layering cake but who needs layers...when you have a piece of chocolate bliss!!! See less
