After that terrible Packer loss i was sure glad I had some of this cake and frosting left over to mourn with ;) This recipe is VERY CHOCOLATY you need to like chocolate in order to enjoy this. It is very rich, but yet very good!

While preparing the frosting as all good cooks do (right?) I burnt my hand! I did not boil it for the full 3 minutes so my "frosting" turned more into a glaze.
