This cake was filled with all the love I have in my heart.  Filled with love for my husband, who I am trying to feed healthier since a health scare last month.  Filled with love for our second daughter, Nicole, whose birthday we celebrated with this cake.  Filled with love for chocolate because.....chocolate!!

This cake is so rich and delicious no frosting is needed.  I did sprinkle it with some powdered sugar and then topped it with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.  Soooooooo good.

This cake is filled with warm spices so it is perfect for February in Michigan.  Cinnamon, cloves, allspice and ginger combine to sooth and comfort with each fudgy bite.
