Delicious Chocolate Birthday Cake

My friend Jennifer got to thinking about my chocolate cakes. Her son was the recipient of the Curious George cake below. Well, the thought of the cake got to be too overwhelming in light of her coming birthday, and she had an "All I Want for Christmas" moment and decided that the only thing that would do for her birthday was the chocolate cake. And I can say this, because it's not my original recipe: This chocolate cake is RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. I couldn't blame her. What could I do? I obliged.
