Danny's Perfect Chocolate Cake
Why I Love This Recipe
"Danny's not much of a chocolate fan, but he has asked for this cake since his 3rd birthday without fail...I have been told in our house that it only compares to (yet scores just behind) hot fudge cake...I take that as a pretty good compliment." ~ Judy
