I made this today for a treat. DH gives it 5 stars for a great chocolate fix in the middle of a busy workday, and I give it 5 stars for how easy this is to put together! I mixed everything right in the pan so there was virtually no cleanup. I opted to frost it with a light, fluffy chocolate buttercream that I threw together. Great recipe that I will definately make for a go-to quick, easy and yummy snack cake. Made for Bargain Basement Tag Game.
