While decadent desserts that are labors of love in the kitchen can be so rewarding and tasty, we’re not joking when we say this cake is one of the easiest desserts we’ve ever made, and also one of the most delicious. A chocolate cake box mix is the backbone of the recipe, then we add a handful of other ingredients to really take things to the next level.
If you’re looking for a sinfully rich dessert that people will go crazy for, look no further. This cake is ooey and gooey (make sure you let it cool and set before serving it) and absolutely incredible. Who knew you didn’t need to slave away to make something completely drool-worthy??
