Double Chocolate Cake
What's baking? This is a moist, chocolatey cake based on the Double Chocolate Layer Cake from Epicurious. I tweaked the recipe by adding one more egg, using unsweetened applesauce to replace most of the oil, and adding more chocolate of course! It was baked in 2 nine inch layers and then torted those to make four layers and used raspberry puree between two and chocolate ganache in the middle.
