Brown Stone Front Cake With Icing image

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.

This cake is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake is absolutely delicious! It has a moist crumb and a rich, chocolatey flavor. The frosting is also perfect - not too sweet and not too runny. I will definitely be making this cake again.
