Black Bottom Cake

Quite some time ago my sister gave me some black cocoa to use. It looks alot like soot so I was a bit intimidated by it, I finally got brave enough to use the stuff this week. The only way to eat it this cake with vanilla ice cream to cut some of the intense chocolate.

I found the recipe on cooks.com
