The Ultimate Slice of Chocolate Cake
Sometimes Mama needs coffee. Sometimes she requires wine. Other times, she turns to tea. Then there are those days when Mama absolutely, positively must get her hands on (and fork into!) a slice of rich, decadent, and mouthwatering chocolate cake.
Oh, yes. This week has been a doozy. But, hallelujah, it’s Thursday—which means tomorrow is Fri-Yay! We’re counting down the hours, minutes, and seconds, and, in the meantime, we’re calming our relentless nerves and quenching our intense craving with some ooey-gooey, sweet, moist, and immensely indulgent cake. Because, we survived the work week... just about! Also, tomorrow just so happens to be National Chocolate Cake Day. (We’ll save some. Maybe.)
I've got my handy-dandy KitchenAid stand mixer at the ready, but have to admit that I'll be using a package of cake mix to make my chocolate deliciousness. (This mama needs a quick fix!) But if you have the time, energy, skill, and, of course, sweet tooth, may we recommend one of these ridiculously awesome recipes. Enhanced with ingredients like red wine, champagne, caramel, peanut butter, mint, and more, these seven sinfully good desserts really do take the cake.
