Chocolate Fruit Ring

This cake takes its flavor and character from cocoa. It id worth your while to indulge in good-quality, high-fat, Dutch-processed cocoa.

A delicious chocolate pound cake, made crunchy, sweet, and festive with dates and walnuts, is the perfect Christmas substitute for the fruitcake-weary. This is a great picnic cake, a superb gift, or a perfect defrost-in-a-hurry last-minute dessert for unexpected company.
