I made this recipe yesterday. If you are a chocolate lover (and I am!), this is the recipe for you. However, I struggled in a couple of places. First, this cake is very soft and if you don't have a big spatula like shown in the photos, moving the layers after you've cut the cake in half crosswise is very challenging, especially if you want your finished product to look nice. Second, the icing for the top is more of a glaze than a frosting. I measured the ingredients and when it turned out so liquid-y, I actually made a second batch---same result. It tasted incredible, but the finished product didn't look like I had hoped. I will make these again and tweak a couple of things to get a less messy looking finished product, but for taste, these are 5 star for sure!
