OMG!!! My whole family is hooked! Even though we butchered the recipe beyond recognition! My 2 yo distracted me (lets blame the baby:) and we forgot to put in butter, and then, people came over unexpected and we didn’t even put the cream on the cake. What do ya know, it got eaten to the last crumb, (well, almost:) and all said it was awesome, light, and yet very flavorful! (we also migh’ve added raisins, roasted pecan pieces, and chocolate bits:)
Thank you very much! Will definitely be making more of this one!

I decided to make this for my husband and I as our “anniversary” dessert.

It was DELICIOUS.

I do have a few suggestions for others who will make this dessert.

I stacked and iced each one about an hour after this came out of the oven. I figured that was long enough to cool the cake, i was wrong. I should have put this in the fridge to cool. They layers slipped and slid a fair amount but I DID get it to stay upright.

The icing- dont worry that it doesn’t look like you have enough(i was concerned)- you will have MORE than plenty for licking off the spoon.
Next time i make this though, i will make a milk chocolate icing, not this chocolate icing, it was too bitter for my taste, though my husband thought it was amazing.
I also will be serving with Vanilla ice cream, as this is a VERY decadent dessert.

I will be making this as my thanksgiving family dessert. Thanks for it!
