Mom's Chocolate Decadent Cake image

This chocolate cake deserves accolades galore, it's so good, The cake itself is tender and moist. But the homemade chocolate frosting is amazing. Poured over the cake while still warm creates the most wonderful layer of chocolate goodness when cooled. It is pure decadence.
