"I held this velvety, rich cake on my lap during the 4-1/2 hour drive to the Greatest Cocoa Cake Contest at the Pennsylvania Farm Show last January," recalls Sandy Johnson, who lives on a dairy farm near Tioga. "By the time we got to the judges table, I was almost too tired to care if I won." But win she did! Topping 59 other entries, Sandy's impressive layer cake with creamy frosting took first place!

Wonderfully moist and delicious chocolate cake. I reduced the 10X sugar to 41/4 cups and the icing had just the right sweetness.

The best chocolate cake I've ever made. I made this for our family of 8 on Valentine's Day 1996, and we shared it with friends who are still talking about it. It's easy to make and well-worth the effort.
