Who said Valentine’s has to be about red and pink and fruity treats?
Valentine’s should be rich and deep, smooth and silky, bold and full of sin.
Oh my, I think I just entered in to a porno…. Not my intention…
I believe that a decadent chocolate cake also cries out LOVE!
Your significant other will think that you slaved for hours making this wonderfully rich and moist chocolate cake. However, if you make it home from work at 5 and pop this into the oven while eating dinner, you’ll have the best chocolate cake for dessert!
Here’s what you need:
1 box Chocolate Cake Mix
1 pint coffee ice cream, softened (or chocolate)
1 cup of water
3 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
Grease a bundt pan, then dust with cake mix powder.
Beat all ingredients together for 4 minutes.
Pour into bunt pan and bake for 45 minutes.
Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.
SAVOR!
Let me introduce you to my NEW
MacKenzie-Childs Cake Platter! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!
I need to have it stored away under lock and key and never, ever put food on it…
Oh well! It’s too beautiful NOT to use it!
I am a HUGE fan of frosting on my cakes, however, this one just does not need it!
I did make this cake with Coffee Ice Cream. I was hoping that it would give it some Mocha Coffee type flavor, but it was not there.
Next time, I plan on adding a cup of cold coffee in place of the water.
Can you see just how moist and rich this cake is? Can ya?
You don’t know what you are missin’!
Indulge! You deserve it!
Enjoy!

Firstly, I want that cake plate!!! Secondly, ice cream in cake batter sounds yummy!
I could NOT believe it when I got it for Christmas!
Ooooh, you had me at BUNDT. Anything that comes out of a pan with a whole in the middle is FABULOUS in my book. And I LOVE your cute checkerboard cakeplate…so super cute!!

Thanks Kristi – I liked up the bundt and the lollipops! Thanks for the invite!
I love that there is ice cream in the cake! Delicious. And I have cake stand envy too. 😉
Looks amazing as all of your desserts do.
I've got to try this! Maybe I'll use my mini bundt pans and put a scoop of the ice cream in the middle.
This recipe looks delicious. We have a a hearty beef casserole. Come on over and check it out. We also have some great news today
This sounds amazing and looks it too! I'd love for you to share this at Mix it up Monday:

I hope to see you soon:)
Thanks for the invite. I tried to leave a message on your blog, but kept getting the google run-around…
I have never thought to use ice cream in a cake mix, that sounds really good. I hear that a lot of times when you use coffee in a chocolate cake you don't actually taste the coffee, it just brings out the chocolate flavor more. Hopefully you'll get more of the mocha flavor you are looking for with the coffee instead of water. I found you via the Gingersnap Crafts Link Party.
Lovin' that cake stand!!
