This recipe was given to me by my high school science teacher, Mrs. Gregory, amd this was the first ever chocolate cake I’ve ever baked by myself. It’s moist, fluffy and devilishly delicious.
The recipe calls for 2 cups sugar but I used 1 and 1/2 cups instead.
In the recipe, the baking time was 50-55mins for rectangular pan but in my oven, the cake was done within 40 mins so baking time may vary.
