Homemade Chocolate Cake image

A rich chocolate frosting is the flavorful finishing touch to this moist from-scratch cake that's mixed in one bowl. It always turns out and is quickly gobbled up by friends and family. I'm asked to fix this favorite so often that the recipe card is an absolute mess! -Cindy Miller, Riverside, Iowa

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I would have preferred it to be lighter and fluffier. The frosting was also a bit too sweet for my taste.
