This is definitely my staple recipe for chocolate cake!!! Moist, flavorful & rich cake minus the calories. I tweaked a bit by using combo of dark brown sugar and granulated sugar for light brown sugar. Besides, I didn't have any buttermilk so I replace it with a mixture of plain yogurt with skim milk. I halved the recipe and bakes it in my 9" cake pan without any problem.

    Yummy! I made this on Nov 24th'2001 for my brother's b'day party. Everyone freaked out on it. It's delicious! I garnished it with blanched and chopped almonds and red glaze cherries. Besides that, I cut it into 2 halves in the middle so as to have 2 cakes and then, spread a layer of Lali's Homemade Chocolate Pudding on one cake and covered it with the other. Then, on top of this one, I put some more of her pudding. It was "YUM"! I clicked a snap too so as to remember how much I LOVED this cake. "This is her gift to me", my brother says

    Mirjam, this recipe is absolutely delicious! Rich, moist and deep dark chocolate! This cake really needs no frosting, it stands on it's own, although my husband loved the icing as well! If you are a true chocolate lover, you must try this wonderful cake! I made it exactly as the recipe called for. Thanks for posting this one, Mirjam. My family truly enjoyed every bite!
