  1. This cake has an old fashion feel and taste; the chocolate is not over powering. There were no changes or adjustments to the recipe. I made recipe#61886 to go with the cake. In addition, I served whipped cream and strawberries and the kids wanted the whipped cream over the cake so don’t let that put you off in the photo;) Get a big glass of milk and enjoy. I think Ann Shirley would be proud, and I proudly made this for the cake-a-thon in honor of Chef I Am.
