Best Chocolate Cake Recipe
This decadent, moist cake is a favorite at our house. The best part is it only takes a few minutes to whip up this cake. I take this chocolate bundt cake to potlucks and church dinners, and everyone asks for the recipe.
Nothing Bundt Cakes are so popular I decided to frost our old family bundt cake recipe to look like one.
It is especially delicious as cupcakes topped with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (see that recipe HERE).

However, this cake is delicious with a simple dusting of powdered sugar too.

Hello, I enjoy looking at your recipes and I like to print them but when I print them some of the words are missing on the pages. Can you see if you can adjust your recipes to fit a letter or legal page better. I tried to see if I could change this. I don't have a problem with other recipes that I copy. Thankyou so much***********
If this is happening to me maybe it's a problem for others who want to print your wonderful recipes. May your day be blessed*********
