Black magic cake or hersheys black magic cake is truly a rich and beautiful cake.I baked this for my nephews 1st bday. The cake came out fantastic and I baked it in my new OTG where the outcome was simply mind blowing. Coming back to the frosting I tried my level best but wasn't a neat job.I adapted the cake recipe from Hersheys and chocolate butter cream frosting from Alice's blog.The cake turned out very soft and tasty.My house was fully filled with the aroma of chocolate while the baking process was going on and we were all drooling .
