"A local restaurant serves this cake it is delicious! By looking at the recipe it looks complicated by after making it, it wasn' that bad! I copied the original recipe, but I used all purpose flour and I didn't sift anything. It still turned out great!"

This recipe was made specifically to be shared elsewhere (because of the mocha frosting), & that's exactly what happened ~ My other half was most happy to take it to work & share with co-workers, & 6-7 of them devoured it in no time! It definitely rates a big THANK YOU & 5 stars!! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees at the tail end of the current PAC]
