Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting
I once sent this rich chocolate cake to my kids' teachers, and it vanished, so I had to make another one. (Who swipes a whole cake?) —Megan Moelbert, Springville, NY

Reviews
The actual cake was amazing but the frosting was sickly sweet. I'd make this again, but not the frosting.
One of my absolute favorite cakes, super easy and moist!
Easy to make and great chocolate flavor! It is very moist!
I had to make a birthday cake for a friend who can't eat eggs and this cake was absolutely perfect. Everyone raved about it and no one knew it didn't have any eggs. The second time I made it, I used dairy-free margarine for the frosting and no one picked up on that either. I highly recommend this recipe for a quick and easy dessert.
Chocolate lover's cake! Quick prep.
