Stacey's Chocolate Cake
This recipe was given to me by one of my Mum’s co-workers and it is absolutely the best homemade scratch chocolate cake that I have ever tasted! When you prepare this batter, it will look so thin, you will wonder if it will even bake at all. Be prepared…the result will be a delcious and super moist cake!
