Emergency Chocolate Cake

I was thinking about Ty yesterday braving it in the elements on the bike while I take it easy in the kitchen. I came across a recipe for this World War II style cake which was presented in March & April issue of Cook's Illustrated. The cake turned out to have a very deep chocolate flavor and not too overly sweet. Ty walked in the door just in time, showing me his frozen water bottle, as I was pulling the warm cake out of the oven. I am sure he warmed up fast after a few pieces of this cake. :-)
