Mouth watering, decadent chocolate cake, oh my!
Even writing out this recipe has my mouth watering for the insanely decadent cake! I try not to make it to often as both my family and I are likely to skip dinner and gorge on this amazing dessert. I can’t stress enough how dangerously delicious this thing is. Trying to decide what a proper portion size is with this cake is quite difficult as the lines get blurred once you start cutting into it.
Make sure to top this with our Nutella Buttercream Frosting!!
