Dear Emma, Thank you so much for dropping in here. Hope you will have the time to give this a whirl BUT enjoy it.
Too short for a dry cake indeed! That is one of the reasons why I don’t always love cake, because so many times, it’s dry and crumbly! I really do like a good moist cake.
This one looks really yummy.
Thank you for sharing your recipe with us over at the Homestead blog hop!

I totally agree with you – dry cake – no good. One do need a moist, but not soggy cake. A good moist cake and chocolate and a nice creamy dreamy topping! The best ever.
Even the image looks so moist and tempting Esme.
Glad my son is out today, coz he would be baking this like already and I am doing a great job dropping the body weight 🙂
When your son return back home he should try it. Good on you for dropping the pounds. Always a struggle but well worth it.
Wow – that looks delicious!

There is nothing better than a moist chocolate cake, and this one looks perfect! The frosting sounds amazing, too. Pinning
