A decadent rich chocolate cake topped with a nutella frosting. It doesn't get more sinful than this. The marshmallow creme melts into the batter forming delectable pockets of moist richness. The cake becomes moister after sitting for a day. The prep time allows for the sponge to sit overnight. Developed for RSC #14. Ingredients:
