It was a HIT at my Christmas Party. The bakery was out of angel food cake, so I made a pound cake and cubed it...it worked wonderfully and everyone was pleased. TIP: Not so hot the next day...indulge and eat it that night if you can!

Yes, it is a wonderfully moist, dense, fudgy cake. Just a couple things to note however. First, don't be nervous if your batter looks like it's pulling together into a solid mass! I had mine in the Kitchenaid on medium, for only 3 minutes, but it looked really odd like it was pulling together into a dough. It poured out into the cake pans, and I actually had to wet my fingers down a bit and level it out a bit as the batter was that cohesive. Secondly, realize this is a dark chocolate cake. Some of my guests prefered more of a milk chocolate cake, but no one complained once they tasted it. One huge suggestion...make this in advance!!! It is so incredibly better the next day and after... It seems to get moister as it sits. Was a huge hit at the party and I'm grateful for the recipe!

Couldn't have been simpler and more tasty! I would suggest, as I served this at a party, if serving on heavy bread, like a ciabatta roll, to either suggest to your guests (or do it for them), to dip the open face of their bread roll into the juice! The juice and slices of provolone absolutely make this sandwich scrumptious!
