This is my go to chocolate cake now. Its tasty, but not overly rich or too sweet. Goes well with a sweet frosting such as buttercream. Dense enough to hold up find under fondant. Moist, delicious, and simple to make.

Super moist and delicious!!! Didn't have quite enough cocoa so I melted some semi sweet morsels in the hot water. Will definately make this again. Everyone loved it!!
