This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect Christmas dessert. I think next time I make it, I'll use a little less sugar.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. The candy cane pieces added a nice touch of sweetness and the cake itself was moist and fluffy. I would definitely make this again.

This cake was so easy to make! I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes. The hardest part was waiting for it to cool before I could eat it. The candy cane pieces gave it a nice mint flavor that complemented the chocolate perfectly.
