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.

Kill me now. I hope and pray that there is something else wrong with me because I can not give up chocolate or caffeine.
Peace, Love and Chocolate

Oh, cake that is like a brownie? That sounds heavenly, and it looks amazing! Brownies are the one dessert I basically lose all self-control with!(So we don't have them around very often!) 🙂
I hope you have a good night!

the fact that the mocha cake is more brownie like than cake like sounds fantastic. mmm! i have a horrible sweet tooth too, and believe me, i've lost every ounce of will power since i have because of the pregnant excuse.
