This is a surprisingly light cake, and extremely delicious. I requested it from my grandmother-in-law for my birthday, as it's one of my favorites, and it's always a winner. We typically leave out the pecans, and use plain Hershey bars as we have family members with nut allergies. Even with the changes, it's one of my favorites!

Addictive - simply the best darned cake to make or take anywhere - bar none! I would unhesitatingly put this one up against ANYONE else's chocolate cake & unless they were food snobs, they'd realize this one gives any chocolate cake & frosting a real run for the money. Thanks for posting Laura Leigh, best cake made/tasted in 2010!
