This is one of my husband's favorites - it tastes great warm with ice cream and has the consistency of a brownie.

Overall, I thought this cake was pretty good. It was easy to make and the flavor was nice. However, I found it to be a bit dry. Next time, I would try adding some extra moisture to the batter.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The cake was dry and the frosting was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
