My husband has been griping for the past few days about wanting a chocolate cake.  I kept deflecting his belly-achings and going about my business.  Today, however, I decided to humor him and make a chocolate cake.

At any given time, I always have the ingredients handy to make several different baked goods.  It’s a nice way to put a peaceful note on a stressful day and, hey, sometimes you just want some warm cookies.  So I was very not worried when I went online to look for recipes on how to make a wonderful chocolate cake and chocolate icing.  What I came upon was a recipe that, at first glace, appeared to be the recipe for your average run-of-the-mill cake.  I had all of the ingredients on hand and decided to try it anyhow.  Besides, I trust Hershey.  It’s the only chocolate (Besides Ghirardelli and Neuhaus) that I really like.

The recipe was super easy.  The icing was super easy to make.  When we had finished our dinner and I served this, my husband looked at me after his first bite and said, “I hope you’re keeping this recipe.”

I took a bite and WOW.  It’s a REALLY good cake.  It’s almost like brownies but in cake form.  VERY chocolate-y and VERY moist.  Give it a try.

No, there are no pictures of this.  I had no intention of making a blog post about a simple Hershey’s chocolate cake, but after eating it, I knew I had to share it.  Seriously.  If you like chocolate, try that sucker.  You will thank me.

Enjoy!
