We did this chocolate cake cause we realized we needed a dessert for one of our cookoffs… It looked simple enough so we said what the hey! We made it… tasted it… it passed the test. On the second occasion we made it, we added some home made butterscotch.. came out even tastier. Its not fancy but it does the job!
