Spicy Chocolate Cake

This is a recipe I found in a book that I've wanted to try for a while. Unfortunately I'm not much of a cook. If anyone tries this, let me know if it's good. I can always con someone into cooking it for me! Hopefully someone will try it. It sounds pretty good to me!

Spicy Chocolate Cake
The chiles make the chocolate taste more intense. Try it, you'll like it!
