Delightfully rich chocolate cake that was moist, perfect! The icing was more like fudge cement for me, and I would appreciate some kind pointers on making it drizzle more easily. Please let me know what else I could do, or I will have to attempt The Joy of Cooking's boiled fudge icing to use instead.
