This cake is so moist, delicious, and PERFECT for the summer! The first time I made it, a chocoholic friend didn't even want to try it! She did, then ate another slice and even asked for the recipe! It's that good. I don't frost mine. Sometimes I sprinkle the powdered sugar on top, and chop up some strawberries to fill in the middle. So nice and light!

*This cake is delicious unfrosted, so if you're in a hurry, just dust w/ 2tsp. confectioner's sugar. Or if you have fresh strawberries, omit the frosting and fill the center of the cake w. 1c low-fat vanilla yogurt and top with the berries.*
