This chocolaty Italian love cake is easy to make and delicious too!<\/p>\n
“I had a Italian themed dinner for friends and I was looking for a dessert. This recipe sparked my interest specially cause they had just got engaged! I did everything according to the directions except I used a heart shaped spring form pan & baked for only 60 minutes. I made the cake the night before & iced it a hour before guests arrived. I topped it with shaved chocolate and some strawberries. Such a hit, It was delicious!” \u2014KZRod\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
