PATRICIA POLACCO'S THUNDER CAKE RECIPE -

This is the Thunder Cake recipe from Patricia Polacco's "Thunder Cake" picture book. It is a wonderful chocolate cake with a hint of fruit flavor from the secret ingredient!

This is chocolate paradise! I am a severe chocoholic and this fills the bill for ooey, gooey, and oh so good. This is from a friend that I used to go to church with.

My sister donated a certificate for this cake to a charity auction and the woman that bought it has called 4 times since then to have me to make this for her.
