Recipe Description

When I have the time, I love baking with my children. This Extreme Chocolate Cake is always the choice to make.

The preparation time is not too long or complicated, so they don’t get extra messy around the kitchen, and they love the double chocolate frosting, at the end. I let them add smarties and any other candy that they love too. Double chocolate cakes are my favorite kind of cakes!
