EASIEST CHOCOLATE CAKE



Easiest Chocolate Cake image

This is the easiest chocolate cake in the world-perhaps in the universe! You don't even need eggs, butter, or milk, and you probably have all the ingredients on hand. I use this recipe when I'm in a time crunch, because nothing needs to be creamed, beaten, or whipped; you literally just stir things together. It tastes like the best dark chocolate sponge cake you have ever eaten.
