Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake

2016 08 01_1915_edited-22This cake takes chocolate to the extreme.  The name should actually have CHOCOLATE in it 5 times because it’s made from a chocolate cake mix AND chocolate pudding mix.  Then it has chocolate chips in the batter.  It’s en-robed in rich creamy chocolate frosting, and accessorized with … wait for it … more chocolate chips.  But come on!  Is there such a thing as too much chocolate?  I say, “No!” 

If there were a food fashion show, this gorgeous, luscious, moist, rich, delicious, dense, CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE cake would be a super-model.Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake
