I made this impressive and tasty cake for my community reunion in Arkansas during the Labor Day weekend. It was as tasty as it was tall. My recipe made 4 layers. I chose to use canned frostings for the event, because the cakes were on display for an extended period of time. All of the cakes were very well received. I enhanced the flavors of this cake with the use of Instant coffee crystals, chocolate Pudding, chocolate Extract and cocoa powder. It was so chocolaty and the texture was creamy and smooth, plus the taste was amazing. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
