I've not had that variant. The one that I like most uses a mayonnaise in it.

You should chocolate cake has a history! It goes back to 1794 when Dr. James baker discovered how to make chocolate by grinding cocoa beans between two massive circular milstones. It's been around for  a while so as you can imagine thousands of recipes have come up since that time

Are there any good books about chocolate cake that you know of?
