This is a very intense, thick chocolate cake. I got the inspiration for this from a Pinterest board. Their's didn't sound right, so, of course, I tweaked it and made it my own.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This rich chocolate cake is guaranteed to cure your chocolate cravings. Moist, dense, and rich, the homemade chocolate cake is extremely chocolatey. We loved the bits of chocolate chips throughout. The cake is frosted with a creamy, smooth, and silky chocolate icing. We could eat the icing with a spoon; it's that good.

Step 8

Place in the oven.
Step 9

Bake for 80 - 85 minutes. Check towards the end to see when a toothpick comes clean.
