"This recipe was made for me, from scratch, by my girlfriend who has NEVER made a cake before, not even from a mix. She found this recipe on the back of my box of cocoa, and managed to find ALL the ingredients to make it in my pantry!! In honnor of her culinary triumph, I posted the recipe for her!
