Bake 52: week 16 - Blackout Cake

This is last week's cake and I'm just getting around to posting it. Still trying to learn how do this without my husband needing to help me :-).

I enjoyed making this cake because it was the first layered cake I've made. It turned out decadent and rich. Upon seeing this cake my husband proclaimed he would be eating two pieces but after half of the first piece, he changed his mind. It was really good, just really rich.

I had a piece a couple of days later after being in the fridge and I liked it even more. It was chewy like a brownie.  The recipe called for one cup of brewed coffee, but I used hot chocolate instead. One of my cakes fell apart a little and I had to piece it back together, but nobody could tell after I got the pudding on. Oh, by the way, my the pudding was fabulous and I will definitely be making it in the future just by itself ;-).
