I have been hooked on this bright red chocolate cake since I was a wee little girl.  I have been watching my mom make this cake during the holidays my entire life.  And when she makes it, she makes this special homemade frosting similar to a roux.  It’s light, not too sweet, and has coconut flakes in it.  I have to get this frosting recipe from her one day and attempt to make it myself….

This cake was super moist, and I was in love with the fluffy light cream cheese frosting.  After making this recipe over and over, I have adjusted some of the ingredients to suit my family’s taste.  I decreased the oil to only one cup, which still allows for a moist cake.  I also increased the cocoa powder to get more of a chocolate flavor.  When it comes to the frosting I decided to cut down on how much of the sugar I used in the cream cheese frosting.  I use 3 cups of the shifted 4 cups of powdered sugar for the frosting.  This gives me a lightly sweetened frosting that’s not too sweet and allows the cream cheese flavor to permeate through.  When I make it for folks, this cake disappears quick.  My new catering clients not just ate a sample during our tasting but took to go slices home because they loved it so much.  (I even saw them eating the cake while they were walking to their car).  It’s that good….
