"I found this recipe in a 1990’s Hershey’s Chocolate Cookbook. It is one of my favorite chocolate cake recipes. I also use this cake recipe as a base in many other chocolate cake recipes, tweaking it here and there as needed. Use only real, whole ingredients and you will have a moist and chocolaty cake. Ice the cake with your favorite icing. I use a buttercream icing. http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/buttercream-icing"

I had to make a cake for my granddaughter's birthday and this is the one I chose. It came out moist and had a nice chocolate flavor. I topped it with chocolate buttercream frosting and we were all in chocolate heaven!
