Excellent with dark chocolate fudge icing.
My thoughts:
My sweet husband made this for me for Valentine's Day. It's an extremely rich and moist cake. You couldn't ask for a better dessert on my favorite holiday.

Ohhhhhhh cake. Come to me.
hey, tried it out yesterday. the cake is very nice, but i have a bigger cake pan so it was a bit pain in the ass baking it.
the icing is nice to, but i made it with a rubbish chocolate, should have made it with a 70% cocoa or more, fine quality chocolate.
mmm i made with the dark chocolate icing.. it was amazing..best homeade cake ive ever had.
