The Best Chocolate Cake Ever!

This is pretty much the only cake I’ll make in this lifetime. I’ve been making it for a solid 25 years and I have no plans in changing. This is the Hershey Cake recipe ladies and gentlemen. It’s not altered in anyway, yet here I am, taking the time to just share their recipe. Why? Because it needs the share. It’s tried-and-true and a must have cake for birthdays and the fact it’s a Tuesday. Enjoy this cake!

Recipe Notes

I love to make this chocolate batter on my baking days and use as cupcakes, a bundt cake or I'll put in a 9 x 13 pan or as cake layers. I freeze these after I bake them so that they can be ready for me for any special occasion.
