Freckle Cake

This amazing cake joined the Walker family traditions when my brother met my sister-in-law. She’s a redhead with lots of freckles, and this cake, thanks to the chocolate shavings and chips, has lots of freckles too. So, we changed the name. Chocolate Chip Cake (boring!) is now Freckle Cake. Great topped with vanilla ice cream!
