"From Cooking Light, March 2008 edition. The chocolate in this cake is not overly overpowering and has a yummy glaze. Although the recipe states to cool before eating, it sure tastes good while still slightly warm."

Wow - this is sooooooo good! The chocolate has a rich and decadent flavor, but then you add the glaze and oh my... it is beyond delicious! I used Khalua liquor as that is all I had and although it is probably fantastic with the chocolate liquor, I thought the Khalua was really good as well. I made this as four mini loaves. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
