Since that day, I never look back and it has becomes my go-to chocolate cake recipe! Don't say I didn't warn you, this is a very dark chocolate intense cake, definitely not for the faint of heart.

Over the course, I had changed the recipe a bit to my tastebuds. I lowered the amount of sugar used, I added and switched out a few extra ingredients.

My daughters love this cake so much that whenever I make this, I need to sneak a slice to my neighbor. Or else, they might unfather me. Lol! Kids these days...
