My favorite thing in the world: chocolate. Im the biggest chocoholic ever. Lucky for me, so is my family. Were strong believers that you really cant trust people that dont like chocolate. There just has to be something wrong with them! My daddys birthday was this week. I asked him what he wanted for him birthday.. you know like cologne, a tie, maybe a shirt. No, not in this family! He wanted a chocolate cake and thats it. Hey, I wasnt going to fight the man its his birthday not mine. So then I decided to make the most chocolately cake out there. Who needs flour? That just takes takes up space that could be used for more chocolate. This cake is very easy, very impressive, and very rich! You only need a little sliver to satisfy even the biggest sweet tooth.
