Helen’s black magic cake

When to my friend’s house for her birthday. She bakes a black magic cake which she found on google, and she said she change the ingredients to suit her. I enjoyed the cake so much I asks for the recipe.

I too change the recipe ingredients to suit my taste, and make a different decoration that is not with any frosting. I love to explore my baking skill with my own ingredients. I am glad she gave me the recipe to try and I have brought it to the next lever with thickened cream, using the coffee powder, browning essence.
