CHOCOLATE ITALIAN CREAM CAKE



Chocolate Italian Cream Cake image

This is a chocolate version of the wonderful Italian Cream Cake. The subtle flavor of cocoa is a nice change from the origional version, but only slightly alters the flavor. It's a winner in my house! :) (I got this recipe out of the November Southern Living Magazine.)
