Unreal.

This cake is unreal.  Just look at it.

2 layers of rich chocolate cake.  The bottom one a decadent chocolate cake filled with secret ingredients that will do your body good.  The top a creamy chocolate mousse with a protein boost.

Together they creat an amazing dessert, fit for the table of anyone, whether they're health conscious or not.

I made this cake for my moms birthday a couple weeks ago.  I knew it had to be something extra special because my mom didn't deserve anything less.

This cake delivered.  Big time.  She loved it, and I couldn't have been happier.
