Wow! We love this cake! The best recipes are always the ones that come from mom & gramma. :) This cake is no exception. I can't even tell you how easy it was! I had the cake (recipe #333455) done from start to serve in less than an hour. This will no doubt be my go-to cake for any last minute needs or just a quick chocolate fix. I used double dutch processed cocoa for both recipes. I loved not getting out the mixer, not having to wait for the cake to cool before icing; it was just heat, stir & pour. It's light & moist. Delish! Thank you for sharing your family's recipe, Megan. I'll be making it again. Made & enjoyed for Spring 2009 Pick A Chef.Reply
