I think you're trying to make me fat--er.
Not trying to do that on purpose, but this cake was so good that the recipe HAD to be shared. We restrained ourselves from taking home the leftovers cause we knew we could not restrain ourselves - lack of willpower.
Oh, yum. :) I like the froggies, too.

Thanks Lois. The frogs are on our front porch and liked the chocolate cake too :-)
I love chocolate BUT I'm not sure my dentist would approve! I'll be popping back from time to time. Cheers Frank (aka FAB).
Sure your dentist would enjoy this cake too, Frank...who doesn't love chocolate, well maybe a few folks. Thanks for stopping in and hope you will revisit from time to time.
