Before my husband's birthday this year, our daughter was in the hospital, so when she came back home on the day, we had to celebrate later with a cake for the Dad and for the joy of being with your kids ..... so the kids and I whipped up a chocolate cake with a delicious chocolate frosting. Decorated with more frosting, some sugar decorations and lots of love, it was the perfect thing to get everyone in a good mood :)

The recipe for the cake was from allrecipes.com. I have tried this on several occasions and I love it every single time. Its easy to make and delicious and turns out soft and moist and very dark! The name of this cake is "Black Magic Cake" and rightfully so. The frosting was more of an adaptation of another recipe from the same site but it turned out beautiful. It had a rich chocolatey flavor and tasted gooey and delicious. I will invite all chocolate lovers to try this combination. Its a definite keeper!
