Chocolate Chip Cake

 
This cake recipe is a twist on my famous Death by Chocolate. I wanted to make a new cake that would become another favorite for my family, and I succeed. Ariel says that this is now her favorite cake, and I believe what she say’s because after she ate one piece she had to have another and she plans on having another later. So maybe this cake should come with a warning sign that says, Warning this cake may causes spontaneous consumption!
