Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake

I absolutely love this chocolate cake recipe. I have been making this for the past 6 years for my mothers birthday. It’s super moist, but always goes good with a tall glass of milk. I usually do the bunt, because my cakes usually come out ugly as sin. This is an easy recipe. I do have to say, it tastes better than boxed cake mix.
