Introduction
I have a major sweet tooth. I like chocolate. I like cake. I love chocolate cake so much that if it were sitting on my counter I would eat it every day. So, instead of baking a regular size cake that would tempt me all day every day, I created this miniature version recipe. It makes just the right amount for a double-date dessert or picnic with friends. I have a major sweet tooth. I like chocolate. I like cake.
