CHOCOLATE MARSALA CAKE



Chocolate Marsala Cake image

This is my 'go to' cake and I make it at least once a week. It is so easy and always works. It is also delicious enough to serve as a party cake. I'm not a fan of frosting or icing so I usually just dress this in sifted icing sugar. Make sure cake is cold before dusting with icing sugar. It is from a great book called '50 Fabulous Chocolate Cakes' [ed Rita Erlich]
