*The Dora The Explorer Volcano Cake is a chocolate lovers dream! Your mouth can't help but water with just

one look at this cake. There are many recipes out there for chocolate birthday cakes and who says you can't try

them all. However, if you choose to do so I advise a personal trainer.

Stage 1. Bake your 9x11 cake sheet. Also, bake in a 9in pan fudge brownies and a chocolate cake in a 9in pan.

Stage 2. When all cakes are cooled crumble the 9in chocolate cake and the 9in brownie into one large bowl.

Pour in chocolate syrup and

chocolate hardening syrup. Mix well with your fingers. You want the mixture to be thick and moldable.

Stage 3. On a flat plate covered in wax paper pour the mixture and begin forming it into a volcano shape. Place

in the freeze for 1-2 hours.

Stage 4. While Volcano is in the freezer icing the 9x11 cake in blue icing for the ocean. When the volcano comes

out place it onto the 9x11 cake and add brown icing for the beach around the volcano.

Stage 5. Add Dora figurine next to volcano and prior to serving pour more chocolate syrup and strawberry or

cherry syrup over the volcano looking as if it has erupted.

This will be sure to get the attention of all of your guests, especially the chocolate lovers.

This is a cake worth getting your hands a little dirty.
