Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake

I made this cake for Seth's 3rd Birthday today!
It is a very rich and moist chocolate cake, really YUMMY.
After making this I thought,
'I will never make another Chocolate cake from a mix again'.

  1. I am with you! This is my FAVORITE chocolate cake and I don't even like chocolate cake!! My aunt makes it with the small-box-size instant chocolate pudding in the middle instead of more icing and everyone in my family LOVES it! By the way.. this cooking blog is making me want to marry you. :) :) :)
