Triple Chocolate Chip Cake

My grandma's Triple Chocolate Chip Cake has been a family favorite since long before I was even born, and I'm sure the picture above can explain why! By combining a brownie, cake, and pudding all into one, the only way that you cannot fall madly in love with this cake is if you don't have any taste buds (in which case I would like to extend my deepest condolences).

While typically served for 10 to 12 people in one sitting, I should warn you that we have had several minor incidents of "addictive feeding". Since then, some of my family members have even nicknamed it Crack Cake, as both a joke and a regret.

Nevertheless, soon you too will be able to gorge yourself on this delectable dessert and experience a sense of profound achievement, only to later be overwhelmed with utter guilt when you find yourself craving more! So without further ado, please enjoy my grandma's Triple Chocolate Chip Cake!
