Hi all.... I have a request for a "dark chocolate cake" for a groom's cake. I have always used the Hershey's recipe for my chocolate cake, which I have always considered a rich, dark chocolate cake. The bride has already tasted that. But her hubby-to-be is asking for a dark chocolate specifically. Do any of you have a recipe for that? I searched online for some recipes, but they look the same or similar to my chocolate recipe. I'm wondering if I may have to just tell the couple that's all I have. Unless any of you have any secrets.
Thanks for any hep!

I always add coffee (1+ tsp espresso powder in just enough water to dissolve the powder). It doesn't add a coffee taste, it just makes the chocolate taste more intense.
I hope I die before "your" is the official contraction of "you are."

Here is the recipe. I used it for my son's groom's cake. It is very moist, delicious, and not super sweet. Everyone loved it.

Toba Garrett's Chocolate Fudge cake is the darkest, densest cake I've ever had. I actually brought samples to the gym today (lol...the gym?!) for people to sample and provide feedback on - overwhelmingly I got (9 people) "this is the richest, darkest, chocolatiest cake ever..." (with 2 people saying too rich)
