- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix first four ingredients and pour into a greased cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Notes
Two variations:
Make this in individual sized ramekins. Adjust baking time to about 15 minutes, or until top springs back when touched.
Cut cake or mini-cakes in half, make a little extra frosting (1.5x), and add a layer of frosting in between the layers of cake. I did this with my ramekin cakes and the large cake – it was actually really easy to do.
