Brooklyn Blackout Cake


WARNING: This is a really rich and chocolately cake :)

For father's day this year my dad requested a chocolate cake so I went to the library, checked out a cake book and of all the chocolate cake recipes, this one seemed to be the best.  I also wanted to create something a little more complicated then just a boring chocolate cake and this looked as it would give me a little bit of a challenge.

This cake was a very big hit, especially with my dad.  Even Jordan ate a piece and enjoyed it, and he is not a big chocolate fan.  This chocolate cake will now be my go to recipe for chocolate cakes, no need to look for different recipes anymore.  

The pudding was actually very easy to make (I had never made pudding from scratch before) and it soaks into the cake a little giving it a more rich and moist texture.  

Another tip, which is completely my own opinion, is that the cake is best after chilling in the fridge for a bit.  I thought it was much better the next night after sitting in the fridge.
