Deep, Dark Chocolate Cake

on
This chocolate cake recipe is by far the BEST I've ever had. And I don't recommend recipes lightly. No joke I make this at least once a week. It can be used for sheet pan cake, layered cake, or cupcakes. So versatile. I cannot take credit for the discovery of this though; my mom-in-law shared this with me and I've been addicted ever since. Mouth. Watering. Happy eating everyone.
(P.S. these are topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting, but we'll get to that later.)
