The Recipe I got from my fabolous cakes book , I baked it accidentally coz I have the left Overchocolate mix ,well.. not exactly left over but the other time I tried to make chocolate mock for my Black Forect , it failed maybe becoz I poured the hot melted chocolate to the Butter immediately without waiting it to be cooled. So the failed mixture sat down in my Kitchen for 3 days before I decided to make 'em in to this delicious ( really) Chocolate cake. I arrange mix nuts, Almond ,pecans ect on the top too (lef over from my crunchy top cake) I should have called it Left Over Cake ha ha.
