My son Noah is a chocolate-a-holic. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semi-sweet, it doesn’t matter. He loves all of it. I think it’s kind of funny because I am not a big chocolate fan. I will admit that (thanks to him) I do eat more chocolate things now than I did before.
I made this chocolate cake for a recent get together with friends and it was a HUGE hit. I think the whole thing was gone in record time! The satin chocolate glaze is to die for and could be used on so many other things besides this cake. I already have several other ideas in mind for this glaze too!

I’m sitting here drooling and I’m not supposed to where I am 😀 I have a question. What brand cake mix did you use?
Hi Zara – I used the Pillsbury Devil’s Food chocolate cake mix. It is by far my favorite mix! Let me know what you think when you make this one! 🙂
this is my grandchildrens favorite, I make it with bittersweet chips and add a layers of semi sweet mini chips on top of the glaze it’s beautiful.
That sounds delicious! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! 🙂
