great chocolate cake

[something_yummy]

we are going to dinner saturday night and have been asked to bring chocolate cake. it is a mixed crowd of children and adults (7 of us in total). i want something good - not the sickly sweet you get from the grocery store,

any ideas?

Opera cake from Ma Maison on Dundas West is rather nice. Not sweet but rich with mocha flavour. In a pinch when I don't have time to make anything, I can always count in Ma Maison. The best in the west imho. Here is a link http://www.yummybaguette.com/magasin....
