Chocolate Cake

chocolate-cake1

‘Chocolate Cake’ is my son’s favorite cake.  The dark color and the softness of the cake is irresistible!  It is so yum that you will ask for more…!  I avoid icing on my cakes for health reasons, but you can decorate the cake with any icing of your choice.

This ‘Chocolate Cake’ is off to Hema’s event “CFK: Chocolate” which was started by Sharmi

I am also sending the cake for the event “Kid’s Delight ” hosted by Srivalli
