Devil's Food Cake With Chocolaty Dizzle Icing image

This is a moist devil's food cake with smooth chocolaty icing. Chocolate cake recipes can be challenging to find the perfect balance of being a chocolaty dream and moist. I researched many recipes and came up with a combination I thought would work.
