Summary: Just like my stupidly simple Apple cake, this cake was the answer to a crazy cake craving! You know how it is, your curled up watching tv but all you can think about is cake. Warm, moist chocolate cake with a gushy chocolate icing. You start wondering if you have the ingredients and turn on the oven. This cake is your answer! Made in the muffin or dump cake style, it’s quick, easy and uses no special equipment. The warm icing means not having to wait for the cake to cool, although it’s just as nice cool as it is warm. It’s best eaten on the day it’s made but somehow I don’t think that will be a problem. Here you have it, the answer to your ‘must have it now’ chocolate cake needs……
