EARTHQUAKE CAKE

This is a fabulous and delicious, popular cake and quite easy to create as a low-carb cake as well. The bumps and tunnels that occur when this cake bakes makes it look like there was an earthquake! This cake does not require frosting and due to the cream cheese infused throughout the cake, it is a lovely, moist, fudgy cake.  It lasts a while in the refrigerator.
