Don't know. This was my Aunt Jean's recipe and, sadly, she's not alive for
me to ask.

the recipe would work...but chocolate chips are usually semi sweet and
therefore a different animule.

Are you tellling me you've never seen milk chocolate chips? Huh!
Then the name would have to be changed to Nestle's Sweet Chocolate cake.
I'm tempted. . . . I've got all the stuff inhouse.

I tried a chocolate-chocolate chip cake recipe last summer that called for
german chocolate. It was good but not as good as if I'd used german
chocolate. I'd had the cake before when german chocolate was in it...I
noticed. But the cake was edible, very edible. It's up to you. It won't be
the same but it won't be inedible. Which you already knew.

I have to honest, I'm not interested. I like the original version of the
cake, and subbing another chocolate just wouldn't do it for me. Now, an
altogether different chocolate cake, filling, frosting, etc., would be a
different issue.
