Directions
Chocolate Espresso Layer Cake, I love chocolate – so it’s much better for me when a serving of cake only has 119 calories as this one does I suspect, though I haven’t tried it, that reduced calorie strawberry or cherry spread would be good (in place of apricot), and give a pretty red color for occasions like Valentine’s Day , This cake made my home smell like a bakery while it was baking It took exactly 30 minutes to bake in my AMC Dutch Oven It tastes like cotton{its sooo soft} Its yummy!!! I decorated this with the Easter flowers and bunnies I brought back from Orlando and they looked awesome This is a treat for dad’s co-worker who has been requesting me to bake him a cake since the last 9 months LOL I will make this again Thank you!!, I love chocolate – so it’s much better for me when a serving of cake only has 119 calories as this one does I suspect, though I haven’t tried it, that reduced calorie strawberry or cherry spread would be good (in place of apricot), and give a pretty red color for occasions like Valentine’s Day
