Does anyone have a good chocolate cake recipe?

My fiance gets paid tomorrow. He does so much for me, and it seems like the only thing that I can ever do to pay him back is cook. He loves my cooking, but I'm looking for something to really blow his mind. Plus, my sister just had a baby and she's been having a hard go at it and I'm sure a chocolate cake would really lift everybody's spirits. I'm looking for a blow your mind out of this world kind of cake that's super super chocolatey. Like, could give you diabetes kind of chocolate. (Not literally) Are there any cooks out there who could help me out? A frosting recipe would be appreciated too. Thank you.Does anyone have a good chocolate cake recipe?
