This rich, chocolatey, flavorful bit of cake will melt in your mouth when you take your first bite. Whether you have made this before or have just eaten it before, I think you will enjoy seeing how easy it is to make. It freezes well so you have half it and have some later on. I hope you try it today and please, let me know how you like it. Recipe below.
