Before the days of e mail I participated in a recipe chain letter, and received this recipe for Chocolate Cake. Of course there are hundreds of chocolate cake recipes out there, but this one stands out as it only deliciously moist and dark, but also ridiculously easy. I even used it for my daughter's three tier wedding cake.
