My husband loves the moist, dense goodness of Magleby’s (a local, well-known restaurant here in Utah) 4-layer chocolate cake. I’ve tried off and on to make copycats and I even came up with a recipe of my own that was an acceptable mimic.
But when I finally made this gluten-free chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting for my food-allergic son’s birthday, there was no going back. My husband asks me to make this cake whenever he can find a justifiable reason for it.
It’s that good!
