Double Chocolate Angel Food Cake

I love chocolate.

I'm not the kind of girl who can sit around and eat a box of chocolate candies. That's just too sweet for me. But when it comes to chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream or chocolate chip cookies, oh, I am SO okay eating the entire container in one afternoon.

I actually love chocolate desserts and snacks so much, that any non-chocolate dessert seems like a waste to me. So, when I was home last night, craving something delicious, I was really disappointed that the only cake mix I had was angel food. Had I thought about baking earlier in the evening, I might have made something from scratch, but it was already 9:00 pm and I had to get the little one in bed.

So, I did what I always do. I turned to the internet. But each search came up with either A) a boring chocolate chip angel food cake or B) a dry looking chocolate angel food cake. I decided to combine the two and throw in a few extra goodies.


Double Chocolate Angel Food Cake

1 box angel food cake mix
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp almond extract
water

Mix cocoa and cake mix.
Follow directions on cake mix box to add water and mix.
Add almond extract and chocolate chips.
Mix additional 20 seconds.
Bake according to directions on box.

Feel free to top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or cherry pie filling, OR ALL THREE! I think that last option is my favorite.

This morning, it seemed a little dry, like angel food cake tends to do, (and yes, I totally had cake for breakfast) but I stuck it in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoyed it with a glass of almond milk. YUM.

On a side note, for some reason, I can't stop listening to these two songs, which sound ridiculously similar:
