There are two other recipes here but mine cooks the chocolate before adding, and this recipe has the frosting that goes with it. This is a lot of work but everyone that hears the name drools. From what I read it seems to be a Southern cake that the favorite Aunt always brought.

  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cake: This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.
