You know the one's, Gooey sponge, I mean really moist and gooey, the type that make you Salivate even when you are full and you have to have a piece.

With thick Chocolate in the middle and a thick Chocolate coating that when you eat it with your fingers gets you all messy, and Kids get it everywhere even up there nose and in there ears

So you have all got the Cake in your head now, yes?

Anyone got a recipe? It's Jessica's 4th Birthday next Saturday 27th and i want to make one

Who's hungry now
