So I've been on a cooking kick that last little bit. I have to say that I love to put together skillet , crock pot, and casserole type meals, but I am terrible with baking or using yeast. So I thought I would try to bake a cake. Chocolate Cake is Cody's fave so I gave it a try and it worked so I wanted to share the recipe. Tyra and I both get this free magazine "Kraft Food and Family" that is full of EASY and yummy recipes. Go to http://kraftfoods.com/kf
and sign up. So I guess you are allowed to bake a cake for no reason at all. Right?
Best-Ever Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round baking pans. Chop 2 of the chocolate squares; set aside. Beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil and water in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened. Beat on medium speed 2 min. Stir in
chopped chocolate. Spoon into prepared pans.
BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 min. Loosen cakes from sides of pans. Invert onto racks; gently remove pans. Cool cakes completely.
PLACE frozen whipped topping and remaining 6 chocolate squares in microwaveable
bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth, stirring after 1 min. Let stand 15 min. to thicken. Place one cake layer on serving plate; top with one-fourth of the chocolate mixture and second cake layer. Spread top and side with remaining chocolate mixture. Garnish with almonds. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
I peeked in on Gage napping and found him in this comfortable position. Limber little guy.

YUMMY. How come I didn't get any of that when I was over this week. Check out my blog...you might recognise some pictures.
That cake looks sick! Maybe you should make it again in say....2 months for the real deal. You got busy with Coco, didn't you....I'm talking about the cake you dirty girl. Big Bro!
Mmmm...that cake looks delicious! I love the Kraft Magazines. I've been getting them in the mail for a few years now! My problem is that I don't try enough of the recipes. I should probably work on making something new once in a while. Thanks for inspiring me!
P.S. Love the picture of Gage!
