One Bowl Chocolate Cake

When it comes to sweet treats, my husband is a chocolate cake fan. It is his go to indulgence with brownies at a close second.
So just a little bit ago he was asking me to make him a chocolate cake. He said I’m always making stuff for the blog and it’s never chocolate cake. So since I was going to make him a chocolate cake, I figured I might as well try a new recipe for the blog. Two for the price of one! Plus, hubby is happy!
I decided to do this easy one bowl chocolate cake. It was perfect. I could make a cake from scratch with out a big mess. However, technically, it’s not a one bowl cake if you put frosting on it. In our house, chocolate cake needs frosting, so I put frosting on it. That would make it a 2 bowl chocolate cake.
This cake is more on the dense side but also unbelievably moist. It was a hit with the hubby, so that’s pretty good, being that he is such a chocolate cake connoisseur.
