Black Magic Cake		    

This is a very strong, dark and moist chocolate cake. If you have problems unmolding the cakes, it helps to line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper and even add two strips of paper under the circles. They serve as handles to try and get the cakes out. I like cooking cakes a little 'under done' and sometimes it's hard to get them out in one piece.
