Need a no hassle chocolate cake? YES! We all do! My mom often made this cake per request for birthdays, holidays, or social events. It's super easy to throw together and probably the moistest cake you will ever have! And it all starts off with a box mix!
The recipe is easy to adjust to different flavors as well. Ryan loves Lemon cake, so I make him a Lemon version of this cake. You can do funfetti, spice, red velvet, the options are unlimited.
