Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake
I always have containers of unsweetened cocoa in the cupboard. Usually there is cocoa from Nestle, Hershey or more recently, Trader Joe's.
I have never really made any of the recipes on the back of these containers.
Here is another recipe "From the Box". The recipe on the back of the Hershey's Cocoa container for "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake is very easy to make. The result is a dense chocolate cake. It is delicious with Hershey's chocolate frosting.
