  1. Awesome! Amazing! Moist, airy, chocolatey and not overly sweet. I iced and filled the cake with whipped ganache frosting for the boyfriend's birthday party and everyone raved! Some folks even said that it was the best chocolate cake they'd ever had! Thanks a ton for posting the recipe and I love to picture your husband doing the "chocolate dance". :)
