Yes I can bake a Chocolate Cake. This was a question posed by a family member.
I do take special requests.
I found a recipe on lilluna.com
I had to make a couple of changes. I was almost out of sugar!!! The cake came out perfectly. It raised nicely and the taste was really, really good!
I made a 2 layer cake for my brother-in-law, it was his request.
I made a single layer for Chris and I.
Did I mention how moist this cake was?
