This is a moist and creamy chocolate cake with natilla filling and bittersweet frosting - a very popular chocolate cake recipe here in Dumaguete City that most cake shops sell. Some would add boiled icing to pipe around the edges or to decorate it.

I'm only posting the ingredients because this is just a one-bowl method type of recipe.
