Rich Chocolate Cake

For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'the chocolate cookbook' and that is where this recipe comes from. I made this on 15 Mar 2020, excellent cake as is and makes an excellent Chocolate Cake Milkshake! This recipe is also used in the Chocolate Cake Milkshake recipe, and has a link in the Recipe Notes section.
