When I saw the name of this recipe I knew I had to try it! Black Magic Cake? Sounds intriguing. No, I'm not really into Black Magic. No toads or bats were harmed in the baking of this cake. But with a name like The Devilish Dish, you gotta live up to your name. Turns out no evil involved after all. In fact the opposite. It was pretty sweet. I'm thinking the Black Magic involved here refers to the dark, rich flavor from the addition of the strong coffee. It's a really moist cake with a great chocolate and coffee flavor. It doesn't even need frosting. But a dollop of whipped cream never hurt anybody!
