Easy Chocolate Cake

I needed to make a dessert and I needed one fast.

I needed to make something from the ingredients I had stashed in my pantry and fridge. There was NO time to run out to the store on a wild goose chase.

Lucky for me, I conducted a quick search online and found this recipe from one of my favorite sites: Donuts, Dresses and Dirt.

I let out a huge sigh of relief.

Although I’ve grown to love baking from scratch, I knew this recipe would taste great, even though it mainly comes from a boxed mix.

Sometimes, when in a time crunch, you have to set your baking morals aside and just rip open that box and dive in.

If you’re looking for a rich, decadent, moist and extra flavorful cake, that you can prepare and bake in under 70 minutes, you’ve just hit the recipe jackpot.

Enjoy….I know you will.
