Chocolate fudge cake
This creates a fudgy, almost brownie like cake that will disappear the moment it comes out of the oven! Same ingredients and technique as the basic recipe, with the following changes:

Use a chocolate cake mix or a pudding in the mix chocolate mix.

Mix one half can of frosting with the water before adding to the cake mix. Frosting should be smooth and runny to allow for easy mixing into batter.

While cake is baking, melt half of a bag of chocolate chips in a double boiler. (If you want to do the whole bag, go for it!)

When cake is done, but not cooled, poke several holes in the cake.

Pour melted chocolate over top of cake.

Let cool as long as possible before eating. (Though, honestly, it usually doesn't make it to cool before it is eaten!)

Because this recipe calls for a half can of frosting and a half bag of chips, we have been known to make two cakes and leave the second as a gift for the camp manager. If you choose to carry on this tradition, use a disposable aluminum pan for your liner pan.
