French Chocolate Loaf Cake

It is delicious. Prep time is about an hour, but I am hardly Martha Stewart. It is rich, rich, rich. A little goes a long way. I am makinga couple for gifts. I know they will be a hit. My fiancee remembered this from a dinner party 10 years ago. I didn't have the heart not to at least try it for his 50th birthday. It's worth the trouble!!!
