Recipe Radar: The Best Cake Ever

Every year on my birthday, my mom would make me the same delicious cake. I would eat it for days after – for breakfast, for a midnight snack – it is my absolute favorite. So, when she moved to London, I had to learn how to make it for myself. When I called her to email me the recipe, she said to simply look on the back of the Hershey’s Cocoa box. And there it was: Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake. And of course you have to frost it with the Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Frosting.

If you are a chocolate lover – you will not be disappointed in this bad boy. Here’s the recipe – make sure you keep it on your radar!
