Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake

I Love to eat sweets, but unfortunately I don't make them often because they love me a little too much. I try to only make desserts when I need to bring a dish to a party or if I am having company. My husband requested that I make a chocolate cake and luckily in my family chocolate anything is a crowd pleaser. I have heard from some of the other blogs that I visit that this cake is wonderful. I was not disappointed. It really was one of the best cakes that I have ever tasted and it is super simple to make. I also was able to save a little bit of the frosting to eat later(yum)!
