I am looking for a recipe for choclate cake that was in "womans word a few years ago. Of course the magazine was thrown out. I made this cake once and it was a huge success. It had tomatoe sauce in it. I remember that it had brown sugar, egg yolks, coaco and of course flour but I just don;t remember how much of everything. If anyone knows of such a recipe I would be most grateful. I would like to make this for my sons 17th birthday on the 22nd of December. I made it into a blackforest cake. It did stop your heart with one piece but it sure was good!!!!
Thank so much
