Ho Ho Cake

We’re setting aside the summer fruit desserts for a bit and going with a rich chocolate dessert. How many of you would always choose a chocolate dessert over anything else. There are quite a few people in my family who would.

Despite having chocolate in the name of my blog, I also like a good fruit dessert, lemon berry is a favorite combination of mine. Basically, it’s hard for me to choose. I just want a piece of everything please. 🙂

This version of Ho HO Cake is made in a 9 x 13 pan, I don’t have time or desire this summer to be rolling up a cake. It’s so much easier to bake it in a pan. The recipe below has a from scratch chocolate cake which is a favorite of our. Easy and moist, it stirs up almost as fast as a box mix. But you could also use a box mix if that is more your thing.

Ingredients

• For the Cake

• 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
