Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake

This has been a raved about recipe on The Nest board for a while, I have been wanting to try it but didn't have the special occasion. I am taking the Wilton 1 cake decorating class with my mom, we have to make a cake to bring to class each week. I figure this was a perfect first cake.

I frosted with the buttercream frosting recipe in class, I think the chocolate frosting would be a good addition though. Check back to this blog, as I will add a decorated picture after class tomorrow :-)
