"This recipe was given to me when I was needing to make a "fancy" cake. It has become a favorite. The cake is so moist and the frosting is delicious! This cake will make you look like you went to a lot of work to make but really didn't."

This is a great cake recipe. It was night and I had a mood for chocolate cake, but I didn't have any eggs in the house! This needs a little more chocolatey taste, but it was great! I used hot chocolate mix instead of cocoa, and it had a ok taste. I also made it into cupcakes without frosting. Good!
