I'm not sure how to answer th question. It was just called chocolate chip
cake, a recipe I got from Jan and I guess I didn't know about that hint of
mixing a little flour with your chocolate chips or raisins or whatever.
And
all the chocolate chips were at the bottom. Besides that, it was good,
moist and then i put some cream cheese frosting on it.
We liked it but I thought the chocolate chips should have mixed in more.
So some of them were on the bottom of the pan when you would cut a piece
of
cake.
It's been about 3 years now and I haven't been brave enough to try it
again
but I would really like to ddo it again.

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.
