Chocolate cake is really an indulgence and this straightforward chocolate cake recipe is created more decadent by utilizing Hershey’s Special Chocolates Cacao Powder (that also makes up about the more dark color)! Obviously, you should use just &"regular&" cacao powder. however i discover that while using chocolates cacao powder eliminates a few of the &"super-sweetness&" of traditional chocolate pies. It's still a remarkably wealthy cake (particularly when you top it with my whipped cream recipe and choc chips or chocolate shavings!). This cake is a welcome addition to the holiday table or maybe even a sweet treat for the family!
Now before you decide to express it, yes a chocolate cake recipe could be easy without needing instant cake filling. It truly doesn’t take that rather more time (particularly if you think &"prepare ‘n serve&" cake filling is &"home cooking’ it’s just as simple as that!) with my recipe, you realize what is moving in for your cake!

- 1 cake crust, baked and cooled based on directions (buy frozen, refrigerated or help make your own cake crust)
- 1/2 cup Hershey’s Dark Cacao Powder (or use regular cacao powder)

- Let mixture positively boil for one minute, ongoing to stir.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Whisk to combine
