Sometimes I get cravings for chocolately spungy somethings. Then I'll usually go to the shops and buy some brownies or something. Well, no longer. This is a perfect cake. It is SO quick to prepare, I don't think it even took 30 mins! And it is SO tasty, even my DH went back for seconds... which is very unusual. This will be kept on hand for many years to come, I think! Specially because it is SO quick. No hours of baking needed. I skipped the chocolate in the frosting and used cocoa insted, and added a spoon of blackberry jam for an additional kick of flavour. (Reviewed for Spring PAC 2007)
