Very moist and chocolatey!! Made to take to Mother's Day dinner at me SIL house. I ended up slicing it up and arranging on a platter so we would only have to take half the cake and keep the other half for us since it is so good!! (I made a second dessert to take as well.) Made for PRMR 5/2010.

The cake was very moist and I like the way the chocolates looked and how they kinda firmed up on top of the cake. Please excuse my photographic skills, this cake was very pretty. Made for Photo Tag.
