Homemade Chocolate Snack Cake
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling
YIELD: 9 servings.
THIS is a moist delicious snack cake, so good that icing is not necessary. Sometimes my husband puts a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Either way, it always satisfies our sweet tooth.
