This is my favorite favorite cake recipe of all time. It is the only cake that I would let my mom or grandmas make me for my birthday when I was younger and is my go to chocolate cake. Just a warning though, it will ruin all other chocolate cakes for you. None can measure up to All Fool's Cake.
--------------------------------------------
Cake
- 3 c. Flour
- 2 c. Sugar
- 1/2 c. Cocoa
- 2 t. Baking Soda
- 1/2 t. Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1 c. Oil
- 1 c. Sour Milk (make sour by adding 1 T. vinegar)
- 1 c. Hot Water
Put ingredients in mixing bowl, except hot water. Beat thoroughly and then add water. Beat again. Pour into a baking pan (cookie sheet). Make filling.
Filling
- 1 pkg. Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 Egg
- 1/3 c. Sugar
- 1/8 t. Salt
- 1 c. Chocolate chips
- 1/2 c. Chopped nuts ( I use walnuts)
Beat the first 4 ingredients together well. Then add chocolate chips and nuts. Drop spoonfuls of filling on top of cake 1-2 inches apart. With a butter knife, swirl filling into cake. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
You can also use this recipe for cupcakes. Fill cupcake liners with chocolate cake batter, place a spoonful of cream cheese filling on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes about 36 cupcakes.

If you feel the need, you can frost this cake. I don't feel that it needs frosting (I'm not a frosting lover), its just that good.
