First of all, it was well worth trying this recipe as the result is a dozen (not 2) delicious cakes. Just a few remarks: I think a little more flour is needed as the dough was too soft - I did have to put it in the fridge for half an hour. As for the icing, I could not get unsweetened chocolate so I lowered the amount of sugar a bit (to about 1 1/2 cups) and it worked for me. And, finally, I rolled the dough as thin as I could but it was far from paper thin (maybe if it had been less soft...). All in all, however, if you don't mind a little challenge, try this recipe - especially as it is the only Ischler recipe on the site.
