The past two weeks of university have been crazy. I have finally finished with all of my studying and assignments and I decided to do what I wanted to do- not what I had to do- so I decided to bake my favourite dark chocolate cake. This was so that I could eat it all weekend long while relaxing and watching too much t.v.

| The secret to this cake is the layer of caramel underneath the butter cream icing. |
My dad says that this cake is too sweet for him, but I love, love, love it. If you really don't like your cake too sweet you can just use butter cream icing, or even eat it without any icing, because the cake is that moist and tasty.
