‘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
