Hey it is Stephanie from The Daily Appetite sharing my Chocolate Cake & Blackberry Sundae with you today! The fresh blackberry sauce is what makes this indulgent sundae so gorgeous and irresistible.
If you ever have left over cake, freeze it! You can always make cake pops, sundaes, or just eat it as is when the craving strikes. Our chocolate cake stays good in the freezer up to 2 months. I try to use that timeline for all leftover frozen cake. The only cake I saved longer than 2 months was my wedding cake. The tradition was to eat it on our first wedding anniversary. So one year later that cake came out of the freezer and after one bite it went straight into the trash. Yuck! Okay, let’s get back to this delicious sundae and the recipe.
