Personal Notes:
Kathy made this for us when Brian was sick. I am a Chocolate Lover. This is the best Chocolate Cake I have ever ate. Kathy divided this recipe into 3 throw away aluminum loaf pans, all baked on a cookie pan at the same time. Check after 15 minutes. It was so moist & not too rich. Just Perfect! Thanks so much for your visit, cake & friendship!
