Baked this today. I am a big lover of choc. cake with choc frosting/icing. This cake reminds me of the one my mother used to bake us when we were kids. The box cakes were not as good back then, and she never bought one (that I knew of).
These are cupcakes I made with this recipe. I used a similar frosting, but I make my chocolate buttercream with melted dark chocolate instead of cocoa.
What's that on top of my piece of Mom's Chocolate Decadent Cake? Did a pig crawl up there to sun bathe? Oh my goodness, it's BACON.
Don't tell Cindy...She won't believe it. 5/10/12 9:42 p.m.
Loved reading about your mom. You are so lucky to have that kind of time with her! I used to bake cakes with my mom when I was little. I've added this recipe to mine. Thanks!
I have baked this cake for over 40 years!! I call it Texas Fudge Cake. Sometimes for a little bit of "spice"...I add a tsp of cinnamon! Try it ..you'll like it!! Best dang cake y'all!
