Too Much Chocolate Cake

I don't believe any cake could live up to this cake's name.  I do not feel you can EVER have too much chocolate.  That's like saying you eat too many vegetables.  Simply not possible.

As you can imagine, I looooove this cake.  I love it for it's ease and it's texture and of course, it's chocolaty-ness.  Yes.  It's a word.  Look it up.  The pudding gives the cake a velvety moistness that is divine and the chips give a nice contrasting texture and chocolate punch.  So freaking good.

I found this recipe at allrecipes.com and gave it some love.  Here is the link to the original Too Much Chocolate Cake ... and here is my version.

*I made a simple glaze of powdered sugar with a splash of vanilla and enough milk to get a nice consistency.
