Meet the Cook: The biggest compliment I've ever gotten on this cake might have come when I baked it for my son's 11th birthday party last fall. The children were full after eating pizza, veggies and dip, etc. - but each of them asked for seconds! -Dianne Medwid, Dauphin, Manitoba

    Just like my Mom's! Delicious. My siblings and I used to fight over who would get to lick the icing pan because it tastes soooo good!

    This is really good! Not a fluffy type cake, but rich and satisfying. The icing is delicious, a nice change from other icings. Putting the cooked icing on the cake while it's warm makes everything moist and gooey. I also used pure dark cocoa, so that makes a huge difference from that pale Fry's stuff. The cake and icing was sooo rich and chocolatey with good quality cocoa.
