Ha! I was the only one around for coffee break and a piece of this scrumptious cake!! I think I'll try this recipe this weekend. Always room for another chocolate cake.
I enjoyed one of the last pieces at the office this afternoon. Yum!!
I thought I would go get the last piece yesterday morning but I guess someone doesn't realize that your not supposed to have chocolate cake for breakfast! I'm glad I took the very first piece even if thats all I got.
