A chocolate cherry fudge cake bombed my house today. That’s why I’m covered in the world’s most luscious chocolate frosting.  I swear it’s not because I stuck my whole body in the pan. I swear.

I am dying over here. First of all, these extremely moist, sweet, and perfectly dense cupcakes are killing me softly with each bite and it hurts so good. This recipe comes from a neighbor in my hometown {hi, Pam!} and it is seriously the BEST carrot cake I’ve evereverever had.

Hot fudge sauce on my couch, my sweatpants, and my camera. And Bjork just informed me that I have a little leftover on my face.  #worthit This, well, there are no words for this.  This is chocolate peanut butter perfection.  I thought I had already found chocolate peanut butter perfection, which I pretty much did.  [...]
