I made this for my daughter and grandson's birthdays and it was a real hit. I cut the fat a little by using fat free half & half and 2%milk and the filling turned out fine. I baked the cake in 9"pans and had no problem cutting them in half; the cake was easily handled. The family loved it and I'll make it again.

I adored this cake (from Ebinger's) as a child. We lived in NJ but all our relatives lived in Brooklyn and would bring this as a gift. I hope get ambitious enough to attempt this one day! Great memories...I even remember the box!

This is one of the best chocolate cakes you will ever eat. I DO NOT recommend cutting the fat - it changes the viscosity and texture. Also, make sure you use the unsweetened chocolate - it gives a richer flavor. The first time I made this cake i used semi-sweet Choc and it lacked some of the richness. Thanks DrGaellon for a wonderful choc cake recipe and a KEEPER!
