Five star ONLY w/ suggested changes: use 1 cup of butter - please, 2 Tablespoons is NOT enough! Next, add in 3/4 tsp almond extract, increase the cocoa to 1 cup, leave out the water, and increase the buttermilk to a total of 2 1/4 cups. Instead of all purpose flour, swap over to cake flour (use the same amount - I know I'm breaking the "cardinal" rule of substitution, but trust me, it will work out just fine).

The frosting was "suggested" by Taste of Home. I had origionally served this with fat free chocolate pudding as the frosting only when dishing it up. It added significant chocolate flavor and a nice moist dessert like satisfaction without being too bland or too sugary. It's an excellant base with a nice Ganache!

The frosting seemed to get really thin and runny; I'm not sure what the secret is to making it thicker. To remove even more fat, I used just egg whites for the cake itself, as well as the icing -- it tastes just as good.

This cake was nice and moist, but was bland; it didn't have nearly enough chocolate to make it appropriately sinful. It wasn't fabulous enough to make me want to try again with modifications. Oh well...

Tried this a couple of days ago. It tastes better after a day or so of settling. I'd definitely bake it again but only at occasions at it is so rich and weight enhancing ;). Thank you.
