From Allrecipes with thousands of views, you have to try this popular, VERY EASY, most soft and moist chocolate cake ever!
You will never want to make a box cake mix again! What a rich, super moist, fluffy and delicious chocolate cake! I just love the soft texture !
Is it the boiling water step that makes it so moist? I think it could be.
This is too good and too easy to not give it a try! You throw everything in one bowl and it couldn’t be easier!
The best box cake mix doesn’t even come close to this!
It is so –o easy and fast to make! And I like this cake without any frosting!
It is a favorite chocolate cake I go to when I want a fast and easy dessert to make!
AllRecipes has a video of it on their site. It is a very popular recipe!
You can also see how I make it in the slideshow below. In the slideshow I made it this time in a 13x9x2-inch oblong pan which is even easier to make than a layer cake!
Try it! Enjoy!
