Chocolate Fudge Cake

I have tried this cake on two occasions. The first time was on my Mom's birthday and I managed to burn the cake crust. The second time was also on my Mom's birthday (couple of days ago), and it came out beautifully! The secret lies in the proportions. You must take care to use the exact proportion, especially if this your first time.
