I love to try many different recipes, but this chocolate cake recipe has had me hooked! It's turned out a fluffy, moist cake every time. Never to disappoint! The butter-cream icing is wonderful as well. I usually use it to frost banana squares but found it soothed my chocolate cravings on this cake. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
