You can 'halve' your cake and eat it, too, when you make Verna Mae Floyd's chocolaty classic for two. 'My mother came up with this delicious dessert after we kids left the nest,' she explains from Highlands, Texas. 'Today, I split this tempting two-layer treat with my husband.'

Rich, moist and chocolaty, this scrumptious cake is very versatile. It freezes well...and the chocolate chip topping makes it easy to pack in lunches and carry along to picnics. At home, we like it topped with vanilla ice cream.

My best friend shared the recipe for this delightful dessert. It goes great with a cup of tea, too. Notice that there is no leavening in the recipe--the carbonated soda does the job! --Kelly Ward Hartman, Cape Coral, Florida

Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly Southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped - once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes.
