Mocha Fudge Brownie Cake - layers of fudgy homemade brownies frosted with a sweet coffee whipped cream and chocolate curls. This brownie cake recipe is a delicious dessert to make for any party or event.
Again with the chocolate baking...I know, I know. I should weigh like a gazillion pounds with my horrible sweet tooth and all the baking I do.
But I have 2 words for you...Slimfast & Exercise! That is the only way that I can continue to bake these delish goodies and also enjoy eating them.
That and the fact that I don't eat the whole pan. Believe me I am always tempted to just keep eating!
Then I go and put on those pants in the drawer.You know the ones we all have...the ones that if I just lose a few more pounds I could actually go in public wearing them. Those are my motivation for not eating all the chocolate goodness I see.

I just read an article in Prevention magazine about the health benefits of coffee and adding chocolate adds even more benefits. Only wish I could stomach the taste of coffee, I've tried many times and just can't do it. Your recipe sounds really yummy though, and has many health benefits too..
