Raya's Black Magic Cake!

Raya sent this recipe out a while ago, and since so many ppl from this group gave amazing reviews for it, I decided to take a chance and make it. SO glad I did, this is the best chocolate cake recipe that I have ever made, and I have tried gazillions of them.

Here's a pic of the cake as it just came out of the oven!! The smell was just amazing!!!

How pretty is this....Raya just sent me a pic of her beautifully decorated famous Chocolate Cake!!

Sprinkled with some powdered sugar....so pretty!!!
