Almost a five star. Real fudgy dense chocolate cake. Greased the pans and lined with parchment paper, as some comments said that the cakes stuck to the pans. They came out fine. The filling is light and a perfect compliment to the cake. I did increase by half the amount of chocolate frosting. Beating for 7 to 10 minutes creates the most light and fluffy frosting.

I read several reviews and used all of the advice. My compliments to all. I shelled and deveined the shrimp, then marinated them in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 cup white wine. Steamed the broccoli 2 minutes in the microwave. Doubled the amount of olive oil and butter and sauted 1/2 cup onions with garlic for about 4 minutes, then added 2 chopped Roma tomatoes, salt and red pepper flakes (to taste)and sauted another 4 minutes. Added the steamed broccoli and the shrimp with marinade and sauted 2 minutes. Tossed with pasta and passed the parmesan. A baguette and the rest of the wine completed dinner. Will definitely do this again.
