This cake is dense but moist (it is a pound cake after all); if I could give it 4&1/2 stars I would. It did accomplish my main objective: to impress my boyfriend's mother, who I was meeting for the first time, as she's a chocolate-lover. However, for my taste the chocolate flavor was a little too plain. I would probably make this again but next time I'd follow the recipe a little less closely and try adding some kahlua and/or almond extract as a few of the others have suggested. A bit of thin raspberry sauce drizzled over it did make it more interesting. As a final consideration, with almost 400 calories per serving, while I probably will make this cake again sometime in the future it is definately a cake for rare occasions and not something I'd want to make too often.
