Lora, was that how it was claimed to turn out? The reason I ask is when I
made the tunnel of fudge cake over the thanksgiving holiday, I was
disappointed. it was a good cake, but I had visions of the cake having like
pockets of fudge in the center, from the canned frosting, but it was just
cake with a rich chocolaty taste from I guess adding in the frosting in the
cake mix.

I made a chocolate chip cake once that Jan gave me the recipe for, and it
was wonderful, but the chocolate chips sank to the bottom.

I wondered why recipes called to sift fruits or nuts with flour, I wasn't
aware of the role flour played for these items for the batter.
