Sweet, rich, chocolate deliciousness. Made this as a birthday treat for a co-worker. She and everyone else gave it 5 plus stars. I made mine look like the awesome photo, plus added some toffee chips to the top. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

This was great! And so chocolatey! I did double the toffee chips, as we are big fans, and it turned out so delicious! Thanks for posting!

Great chocoholic dessert- we all loved this one ! Thanks for sharing ! My crew did not let it even cool- had it warm and soft from the oven- very rich and very good.

Made this for the holiday weekend. It was rainy here, so most of it ended up being eaten by me and chubby hubby. It was really good; a keeper. Will be making it again to hopefully feed to others (ha). My only problem was trying to spread the layers without messing everything up. Thanks for the great cake.
