Willy Q's Chocolate Truth Cake

I read "All of the Above" and wanted to make this, but returned it to the library by mistake. Thanks for posting this. Very chocolaty. Easy to make. We grated special dark chocolate instead of chocolate chips. -
I made this and it was delicious!!! -
I made this gluten free and left out the shortening, doubled the cocoa, used chocolate soy milk and put 2 chocolate chips on top of baked cupcakes to melt. Really super good! A friend stuck to the original and theyw ere bland.

I am in 6th grade now and wanted my own account because most of the time my opinion is different from my family's. I also wanted to get a taste of what my Mom is doing for so many hours a day!
I like baseball, reading, and other sports too. I hope this website will inspire me to cook someday.
Admittedly, I'm the pickiest eater in our family but I enjoy new things. i
Pet peeves: we don't have any pets, I hate my seasonal allergies, and people who are insensitive to others in need.
