Heaven’s Own Hot Chocolate Cake
Every time I make this cake, I am reminding of my sweet grandmother (Nan)! She was a wonderful "Southern" cook. She passed away several years ago now, but left a true legacy-she created this marvelous "oh so chocolaty" cake! It is the family favorite when I ask, "What kind of cake would you like"? One taste of this wonderful, ooey-gooey, and chocolaty tasting cake and you’ll soon know why! I love the ease of preparation too, which is especially nice in the hustle and bustle of the world we live in.
