Sandy's Awesome Chocolate Cake

"I found this recipe over on AllRecipes about a month ago and have to say it's the best chocolate cake I've ever had! So i had to bring it over here and share it. I haven't tried the frosting, as I had whip cream between the layers and a chocolate ganache frosting on top. Let me know how the frosting turns out!"

I'm a stay at home wife and mom who has just fallen in love with cooking. I was scared when I first got married that it was going to be the typical first year of burnt food but strangely enough, I've got a knack for it. It's my husbands joke that after he got married, he lost weight and coworkers asked if my cooking was that bad...he'd tell them no, she just actually cooks without adding a pound of grease to everything like my grandmother!
