I found this in a magazine many years ago, and it is the ONLY chocolate cake I make. I used to make decorated cakes for sale and this was the one I prepared and always had happy customers. It is so moist, and chocolatey. Great with a peanut butter fudge frosting. batter is very thin, but bakes up terrific.

How to Make Hershey's Chocolate Cake

Step-by-Step

preheat oven to 350 degrees . spray baking pan with cooking spray and lay aside.
in large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.
with mixer, add in eggs, oil milk and vanilla
mix on medium speed 2 minutes until batter is well blended.
slowly "stir" in boiling water, by hand. until batter is all incorporated and "thin". using a mixer during this step will "dot" your walls and face :)
pour into prepared pan, and bake 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. batter is thin, so be careful moving it from counter to oven.
