Black Magic Chocolate Cake
I'm not a big fan of chocolate but John sure is. We both love coffee so when I came across this recipe 20 years ago from Epicure™, a Canadian company from Victoria, British Columbia, I decided to give it a try. It bakes up perfect and moist everytime. It's my go-to recipe whenever we want a slice of heaven.
