Homemade Chocolate Cake
Recipe Description
The batter tastes unbelievably like the Betty Crocker mix (yes, I always taste test my batter 
). It doesn't stick to the pan, doesn't crumble and is the moistest cake I've tasted in a long time. It also doesn't leave me with wanting a gallon of milk to wash it down afterwards.
