Toll House Crumbcake

This is another chocolate cake recipe in my collection. In my house, it can never go wrong with a chocolate recipe. As long as there is chocolate, Arkensen and Nanzaro will gobble up whatever I make even though they might not look nice.

This crumbcake is very chocolaty and nutty — and sweet. It’s great for an afternoon tea break.
