Cupid's Chocolate Cake image

I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Magazine, it is by Shelain Duncan. I made this for my husband birthday when we were first married. I think he was trying to pull a fast one on me. I found out later that his mom always refused to make Chocolate cake with white icing. I have attempted this feat twice in our 7 years of marriage - you think I would have learned! Anyways, despite MY cakes end appearance, it tasted wonderful!

This cake is absolutely amazing! It's so moist and chocolatey, and the frosting is to die for. I will definitely be making this again.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cake was a little dry and the frosting was too runny. I'm going to try it again and see if I can get it right next time.

The frosting on this cake is a bit too runny for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. I had to add in flour and baking powder in order to get the cake to rise properly.
