Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted shortening. Stir together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in chocolate chips and walnuts; set aside. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Spread batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over the batter. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (40-50 minutes)

06

Step

Allow to cool in the pan before serving. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of indulgence, consider adding a swirl of cream cheese frosting after the cake has cooled.
Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, to customize the cake to your liking.

    I added a pinch of cinnamon to the crumb topping, and it added a lovely warmth to the cake.
