For my husband's birthday every year I ask him what kind of cake he would like me to make. In years past he has requested pecan pie, ice-cream cake, german chocolate cake, caramel cake, etc. For his last birthday he said he wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. We had recently been to a church get together and one of our friends who used to work at a bakery brought a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and it was the best we'd ever tasted so he said he specifically wanted that cake. I asked her for the recipe and she graciously shared. And the best part is it's pretty easy and so delicious!
