Chocolate cake – moist and delicious

Today chocolate cake, so aromatic and very moist with in my opinion phenomenal glaze! A delicious classic which I baked when visiting my neighbours. One, two, three – just bowl and spoon! The host also baked chocolate cake and believe me no one was complaining about too much chocolate!
