Chocolate Intervention Cake

What are the characteristics of Chocolate Intervention cake?  Rich, moist, chocolatey, not too sweet, dense like a truffle, each bite is urging you on to take another bite...

I am warning you ahead of time.  Don't make this cake.  You will become obsessed.  Like waking up in the morning and it will be the first thing on your mind.  Or, talking to your family and all you are thinking about is "one more bite".  Seriously, it will become an issue.  Don't blame me when you start hiding pieces of it around your house.  Or telling yourself that Marie Antoinette was crazy to let others eat cake when she should have kept it to herself.  Just remember when you look back, I tried to stop you.
