Sweet Start

I found this recipe on the back of the cocoa tin, and also on a friend's table. The cake won rave reviews at a dinner party, so I pass it along to you as a gift.

If you have to take a dish to a picnic, party, the office or to welcome a new neighbor, or impress someone or someone's mother, try this one. It's simple enough and chocolatey enough, and it's not out of a box..

And after you bake it, keep it away from the edge of the counter, especially if you have a dog. Chocolate is toxic to the canine system, and this just might be too tempting for Fido to resist.
