Personal Notes:
One year for his birthday, my dad requested a chocolate cake. So as usual I consulted my friend Pinterest and found this bad boy. We were expecting a typical super chocolatey cake, but it ended up being so much better than that. It definitely deserves it's name, and will forever be a family favorite.
