SWEET AND SPICY CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is a complex cake, loaded with subtle flavors; it's much more an adult cake than something for the kiddies. Also, it tastes much better after aging for several days, so let it rest, tightly wrapped, in your refrigerator for 3 to 4 days before serving. Adapted from a recipe by Syd at allrecipes.com.
