It's chocolate cake, so
I'm not sure how much I can say beyond "Delicious!". Of
course.
However, I ran into
some trouble with the frosting. The recipe includes heating most of
the ingredients to a slow boil, then cooling for 45 minutes before
adding the powdered sugar and vanilla. I messed this up, by boiling
everything, but I don't think that really bothered the icing sugar.
The more serious error was my decision to ice the cake the following
day. I had to re-heat the frosting, and then I didn't let it cool
enough.
The cake came from my
oven. The frosting came from Mordor. Notice in the photo it's attempt
to cover the land (i.e. my countertop)
with Eternal Darkness. I had to put the whole thing on my balcony to
allow winter to stop the spread.

Ironically, while I was pouring frosting all over my kitchen via the cake, the song that came up on my phone's shuffle was "Out of Control" by The Chemical Brothers.
