Chocolate Stack Loaf

This rich cake is ready in less than an hour. "Don't worry -- the batter will seem low in the pan, but it bakes beautifully to a 1-inch layer," says recipe developer Alice Medrich. "The fudge frosting needs an hour or so to chill, to thicken and become spreadable. Don't substitute for the natural sweetened cocoa powder."
