Amazing Fudge Cake! So excited to share this one with all of you. This cake is for anyone with a serious sweet tooth! Turn away now if you don’t like chocolate or sweet cakes. 🙂 I am a huge fan of a chunky chocolate cake that are moist. This is something that can satisfy a craving for the biggest chocolate lover in your life.

The recipe below is flexible to the amount of chocolate you may want to add. The usual is to add small to large chocolate chips – I altered this to add M&Ms. They melt nicely and give you big pockets of fudge. Get your milk ready!!!
