This was a 3 layer cake that I made for a recent community event that was held during the Labor Day weekend in Arkansas. It was one of the cake dessert features among 20 different variety of cakes. This cake was yellow on the inside and chocolate on the outside, for those that wanted SOME chocolate but not too much. The texture was moist and tasty, and had the chocolate flavor but not too much. Just enough to satisfy your chocolate sweet tooth.
