CL Comments:Category Winner--Desserts. "Cake is my favorite dessert--
especially frosted cake." -Anna Ginsberg, Austin, TX
Comments from an AL Kitchen:This cake was very easy to prepare. It's not my favorite
CL dessert recipe so far, but rich and satisfying for that chocolate
sweet tooth! 7 points is a bit high for a dessert, but this is a good
make-ahead recipe when you have guests to serve. My son had it and was in heaven! He rated it 5 stars.
My husband has had it twice and really likes it. He would give it a 4!

2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 ounces)
