I've been making this chocolate cake for 20 years. It is, wait for it, the Hershey recipe. Yes, it is on the back of the Hershey cocoa box and I am not ashamed to say that it is my go-to recipe for chocolate cake and cupcakes. It is insanely chocolately, incredibly moist, and over-the-top easy!
Sundays are when I make my traditional spaghetti and meatballs, fluffy, soft, and flavorful breadsticks, and a dessert. Chocolate cake bars hit the spot with a cup of hot coffee this time around. What a delicious day!
