now there aren't many times when the word "encrusted" is used in a positive context - "with diamonds" being the obvious exception (as long as they are ethical diamonds!), but encrusted with chocolate drops is another!

Easy peasy! we almost always have these ingredients on hand, and it's a fantastic basic choccy cake that can be whipped up super fast!

Looks yummy. We have a recipe that is almost the same that's a fave here. Ours uses oil instead of marge, and I've not used choc chips in it before. Somehow I think this would gain approval from the crowds here. Must give it a whirl, thanks :)
yeah i was thinking that oil would be good instead of marge, honestly 5tbsp of marge? maybe if you had a tbsp melon baller, but otherwise it's a bit silly ;)
the choc chips were good! makes it a little bit more special than plain, but without fluffing around with icing...
Yummmmmmm ... that looks so good! You are great at taking food photos - I try all the time but they end up looking like something that the cat dragged in ;) Eli baking sounds interesting!!!
