Darn Good Chocolate Cake

Yep that’s name of the recipe and for good reason!

 

We had a cousin’s get-together this weekend and I signed up for dessert. For two reasons – one: I really enjoy baking and two: I know I will I have a dessert that I will enjoy!

I made the Darn Good Chocolate Cake from one of my very favorite cookbooks, The Cake Mix Doctor by Anne Byrn. Her recipes really turn plain old “box mix” into made from scratch  creations! This is a stand alone recipe, that does not require any frosting, but I needed the Chocolate, so I went ahead and made the Shiny Chocolate Glaze, also from the cookbook..and it was a HIT! Sadly, I was too full after all the goodies from everyone else, that I didn’t get to try it 😦  I called my mom in the morning, who had already had her piece for breakfast, and she packed it up for me  🙂  Yummm…definetly a treat that goes well with a cold glass of milk!

*I am also holding Peanut Butter Brownies. I will post that recipe soon*

1/2 cup warm water

1/2 cup canola oil

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Mix everything but the Chocolate chip on low for  1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl and mix on medium for another 2-3 minutes. Fold in Chocolate chip until well distributed. Pour in Pan and bake 45-50, or until cake just starts to pull away from pan. * I recommend place a baking sheet on the baking rack below in case of overflow during baking* Cool on rack for 20 minutes, then remove from pan and finish cooling on rack!
