CUPID'S CHOCOLATE CAKE
I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Magazine, it is by Shelain Duncan. I made this for my husband birthday when we were first married. I think he was trying to pull a fast one on me. I found out later that his mom always refused to make Chocolate cake with white icing. I have attempted this feat twice in our 7 years of marriage - you think I would have learned! Anyways, despite MY cakes end appearance, it tasted wonderful!
