There are times when cake makes the world go round. This was one of those times when I had to have something chocolate; so, I made a homemade classic chocolate cake with homemade frosting for me and my daughters. My husband was out of town working (he is the one who doesn’t like lots of chocolate so I made this when he was gone) but it is so easy to make a scratch cake (despite what some people may think).

It is a little more dense than cake mix, but pair it with a really good frosting, and there is nothing like homemade cake. So grab a glass of milk to wash it down and get ready to make some Classic Chocolate Cake!
