chocolate cake

I've made a couple of these Pioneer Woman's Big Chocolate Cakes recently. They are SO delicious. 

I also follow her instructions for chocolate curls that is found in the Ladd's Birthday episode. {which I just found that the recipe for them is posted on Food Network, of course} I first made this cake a year ago for Kate's 4th birthday. I had seen the cake on The Pioneer Woman and knew I had to make it, it looked delish, and the first occasion coming was Kate's party. So, I told her, "You're turning 4. It has 4 layers. Perfect, see?"

I've been told by Josh that I need to make this again, but for the family this time. He really wants some. Who wouldn't?

And those chocolate curls? Perfection on top of delicious perfection.
