Perfect Chocolate Cake

Image
A great, everyday Chocolate Cake that you’ll make over and over again. One bowl and a whisk. A crumb that’s beautifully tender and moist. It truly tastes of chocolate and keeps for up to 5 days. Worthy of serving plain with just a dusting of icing sugar and dollop of cream. Or pile it high with frosting! This is the everyday Chocolate Cake I make over and over again. The crumb is tender and moist, it truly tastes of chocolate (rarer than you might think!) and you only need one bowl and a whisk. It's the famous Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Cake and quite possibly the only recipe on this entire site that I use as written, without any changes to the ingredients (but don't skip my baking tips in the notes!).
