Recipe Notes
TRICIA HINT-- if you spray each pan with Pam and place parchment paper in each pan,and then spray with Pam again, you will never have a cake to stick to the bottom and sides of your pans.
To make the Chocolate curls, Take a chocolate bar and use a potato peeler and peel the chocolate. Will make great curls.
