Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe

This recipe makes one of the most delicious, moist chocolate cakes ever. I have no doubt that you will enjoy this chocolate cake very much. However, it is a relatively small cake and you will have to double ingredients if you maybe want to make a three-layer cake of it. Also, remember to make more icing if you decide on a larger cake. 

 

Let your imagination run wild in decorating this cake. It is delicious if you add fresh, whipped cream on top of the layers of icing – both in the middle and on top – and then grate minty chocolate over the cream.
