Million Dollar Cake image

I need a "Million Dollar" recipe because when I asked my DIL what I could bring for dinner, she joked "How about a million dollars?"!!! I found this on All Recipes where it got rave reviews. This suits my family's tastes perfectly. Make the day before.

The cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was great.

Not too sweet, very moist and chocolatey, super easy to make!

This recipe was an experiment, as it was my first time making a million dollar cake. It turned out great - moist cake with a smooth, rich frosting. Would definitely make it again!

The cake looked beautiful when it came out of the oven, and it tasted even better than it looked. The vanilla frosting was the perfect complement to the moist chocolate cake. I will definitely be making this cake again.
