Best Chocolate Cake

Sweet Sensation
2007-02-06 11:33:01 One of the easiest ways to relieve stress is to work out... that is, make your way to the kitchen, stretch those limbs and grab that bucket of sweet sweet ice-cream. Chocolate, coffee or better yet, home-made vanilla ice-cream with a delicious chocolate fudge sauce recipe. If you think you'll feel just a little bit guilty indulging in such a sport, go for the fruity flavored ones like strawberry or mango. Ever experience the most orgrasmic ice-cream of them all? Deep fried ice-cream dripping with golden caramel sauce! You haven't lived until you try one of these divine balls of creaminess. Kneading your way through sugary bread of goodness such as coffee scrolls and the more traditional scones can also beat stress, especially when the end result is having to sample the goods. If you want a quick fix, stir some fun of blueberry muffins, peanutbutter cookies or chocolate brownies. A word of caution to those treating themselves to the more exotic sweet treats for the fi...
