I love chocolate cake so this sounds wonderful. May try it when I get home from my Italian holiday, but does anyone know what the weight equivalent of the US 'cup' is please?
YEP....
1 US cup=16 Tablespoons=236.8 milliliters ML.............................. 1/4 cup= 4 Tablespoons=59.2 milliliters ML...
Hope this helps.

To convert from cup to liters (l) multiply by 0.24.....Virginia
Funny, I thought we were supposed to be trying to lose weight through this blog! LOL Just kidding! :)
We could make Olive's Chocolate Cake for our Dads since Father's Day is Sunday. You are right - this cake is definitely not on my Abs Diet. Ha!
