This was a delicious cake although it definitely should call for mini chocolate chips because everything sinks to the bottom and if you don't have a real sweet tooth this is not the cake for you; I felt that it could have used less sugar and I do have a sweet tooth.

A friend made this recipe for a party and it was fantastic! Can't wait to make it myself - yum!

It was moist and light. My chocolate chips sunk to the bottom though so I wonder if using minis would be better. Not sure if I will make it again but it wasn't bad.
