Best. Chocolate. Cake. Ever. My husband loves chocolate cake, but is kinda fussy and not fussy atthe same time! He said to me...wait for it....you can just buy a Betty Crocker Mix and make that. I said "Uhhh, I don't think so" Yuck. But, knowing that was the "type" of cake he liked i have been making different recipes, just to see if they are as good as they say they are, trying to find that special go to recipe!
So when i found Kathleen's Gonna Want Seconds Cooking Blog! and her delicious Black Magic Chocolate Cake she had made from Hershey's....I had to try it! And, YES, it was WONDERFUL! =)
