My family loved this recipe. One of my sons said it was like having a Hershey bar melt in your mouth. This cake is very moist. I took it to school and it was gone before lunch!

This recipe is similar to Hershey's Black Magic Cake which is to DIE for. I am looking forward to using the chocolate frosting recipe on that.

Whenever my family ask me to bake a cake, it is this cake. It is a non-fail cake, excellent in texure and taste. I also enjoy baking it. Using the finest ingre. I bake it in a 9 x 12 pan, sheet cake. I also add pecans to the frosting for a Texas taste.
