DECADENT CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH SAUCE
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour or cake flour
4 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbs. butter
2 tbs. corn syrup
Heat oven to 325°F.
Grease a spring form pan, 8x2 1/2 inches, or round pan 9x1 inches. Heat 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat until chocolate chips are melted; cool 5 minutes. Stir in flour until smooth.
Stir in egg yolks until well blended. Beat egg whites in a large bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until soft peaks form. Fold chocolate mixture into egg whites. Spread in pan.
Bake spring form 35 to 40 minutes, or round cake pans for 30 to 35 minutes (top will appear dry and cracked) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; cool 10 minutes.

Do the chocolate cake on the back of a can of Hershey's cocoa powder. It's the best!! Even Applebee's serves it on their menu. Do the frosting recipe they feature, too. I bake a lot, and have yet to find a chocolate cake recipe to beat this one. Very easy to make. And trust me...it will be the best present your dad get's this year!! :)
This is easy because you mix it in the same pan that you use to bake it.
Top each slice of cake with a little CoolWhip. Guys LOVE this cake.

OOOHHHH OOOHHH OOOHHH So glad you asked. Here is my favorite & ALWAYS turns out good.
Here is a recipe for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake,
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 - 18 ounce chocolate cake mix (I prefer Pillsbury but any kind will do)
* 3 medium eggs
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise*
*DO NOT USE SALAD DRESSING TYPE MAYO THOUGH
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly butter and flour (use a bit of the chocolate cake mix to flour the pan - there won't be any white residue on the cake that comes from flour - put any excess back into the batter)
Combine ingredients with a hand mixer on low. Continue beating on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely before frosting.
* Increase mayonnaise to 1 cup if cake mix has pudding mix in it.
**For two 9 inch cake pans, bake at 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness but inserting a toothpick into center.
** For 9 x 13 pan - bake for 35 - 40 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
** For Tube pan - bake for 40 - 45 minutes. Cool in pan for 20 minutes. Remove from pan to cool completely.
The mayonnaise makes it super moist. And if you think about it, mayo is oil and eggs anyway which are included in the recipe. (not the oil though- that is what the mayo is for.)
You can frost with a white cream (cream cheese) icing or just dust it with powdered sugar. It is good enough on its own without all the heavy frosting.
