Original recipe came from "Women's Weekly Chocolate Cakes" mini book. But i've modified it so much that it no longer resembles that recipe. This is a really yummy, moist cake. I make it and once it's completely cooled, usually the day after baking, i wrap it well in plastic wrap, 4 times or more, then put it in a plastic bag and i freeze it. I have defrosted it up to 6 weeks later, just leave it on the counter for 8+ hours or overnight fully wrapped and then use as any other cake. You can use it fresh but freezing makes it more moist. If you only freeze it for 24 hours, that is still fine. But it will keep in the freezer for a long time. YUM
