Moist Triple Chocolate Cake

To celebrate my daughter birthday, I can't do her request to make Princess Barbie Cake.

The humidity is high about 90 percent, I can't decorate the cake using fondant but I promise her to make something I think she will love it very much.

This recipe I found here. Thank you to Lydia who share this recipe, the cake and the pictures are fabulous.
