Stuff we eat: Chocolate Lover's Favorite Cake

Before we started cutting down on our fat intake around these parts, we made this cake entirely to often. 

We're talking about the kind of frequency that brings about the ability to whip it up without looking at the recipe...even once.

Nowadays this is definitely a rare and wonderful treat. Mostly on a "dad holiday", since he is the one that loves it the most.
