Very Chocolate Cake
Description
Perfect for serving with tea and coffee. I use cocoa for making the cake layers, and prepare the filling with chocolate. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a combination of both. Decorate the finished cake as you like: nuts, cream, chocolate or colorful sprinkles.
