I started making this 12 yrs ago for my daughters birthday. She turns 22 tomorrow and I am baking it now. My tip is to use 1 cup black coffee instead of water. It makes it even better😊
I made this tonight for my son's birthday & it was amazing! I substituted the milk with buttermilk & subbed the hot water with hot coffee. You don't taste the coffee, it just deepens the chocolate flavor. It was so moist & rich!
I just made this cake tonight for the very first time and it is magnificent! I just had to know if people were aware that this is the best chocolate cake recipe ever, right there on the back of the container in plain sight all these years. I was missing out!
Thank you so much for your honesty about giving the proper credits for this recipe. A lot have posted this exact same recipe pretending they came up with it. I don't know why, but this usually bothers me a lot 😅
Hello Deronda I just baked this cake.... Words are not enough to tell you how soft, moist and delicious it is. Even without the frosting (to save some calories) its heavenly. Thankyou xx
I just made this cake last night and it is heavenly and for those who are like me who had to convert the 3/4 cup measurements I just did 12 tablespoons and it equals out the same. And with the 2/3 cup for the coco powder I just did 10 tablespoons or you can do 1/3 cup and fill it up twice and that will equal the same as 2/3 cup.
I’ve tried this recipe and it is the BEST it is super moist and delicious and if you are searching for a chocolate cake recipe make this one IT IS THE BEST
I have made this cake for over 36 years now. We bought a cake for a doctor at a French bakery and I swear it tasted just like the one I made from this recipe! They charged $50 for it 30 years ago!
I made this for my brothers birthday and it was heavenly! The cake itself was so soft, moist, and sweet. The frosting was super perfect and was not to runny or sweet or hard! Everything matched perfectly! If you are thinking about making a chocolate cake then this is the perfect one! Everyone in my family loved the cake and I'm sure everyone in your family will too! 5/5 stars.
AWESOME & thank you for sharing your HERSHEY'S CAKE results with all of us...Tiger!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOUR BROTHER!! Forever ENJOY, my friend!! -Deronda :)
My husband has requested his mom’s chocolate cake for his birthday tomorrow, and when I asked her for the recipe, it was for this cake :). Happy I watched the video because I think the thin batter would have thrown me off.
AWESOME...Melissa!! The cake batter, for this recipe, is very thin, but bakes a deliciously tasty CHOCOLATE CAKE!! ENJOY & Happy Birthday to your husband, my friend!! -Deronda :)
I made this for my birthday omg this is the best chocolate cake I tasted.I never wanna try another recipe ever.I made three 2 layer cakes and frosted with them with chocolate ganache and butter cream. I did a small change, instead of hot water I added brewed coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor.I made the cakes on the 20th Jan and on 24th Jan,tasted the last piece left.. the cake was still moist and flavor hasn’t changed a bit. This is the only chocolate cake I wanna make for the rest of my life.
I have made this cake and it is just like the name says...Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake. Even my husband, who says he doesn't like chocolate cake, enjoyed it. It's a winner in my book 😊
The 1st time I made this Hersheys chocolate cake was years ago.. and I never went back to boxed cake mix again. Every one raves about it.. the taste is amazing and it's so moist. Best homemade from scratch chocolate cake ever!
Oh my..... I made this on Saturday and it was DELICIOUS!! I am not a cake eater but my partner is. I did try a small piece because he was raving about it and I have to say it was very moist and tasty. I made another one on Sunday for my in-laws who love cake and they said it was the best chocolate cake they have ever had. Thank you for a great recipe 👍👍👍
I made this cake for my 40th Birthday last week. I did not have Hershey's Cocoa Powder. I used my local brand. Chief Instant Cocoa Powder. It was Delicious! Moist! Everyone who tasted it loved it. I was even asked if I taking orders.
I have a large bag of cocoa that was given to me when we stopped making triple chocolate cookies at work. It works just as well. I just keep refiling my Hershey can with it.
Omg!! I just made this chocolate cake.. It was sooo delicious.. Everyone here ate it all and was asking for more.. I ran out of oil, so I used melted butter and I added 1tsp black coffee in the 1c of hot water.. Thank you for sharing this..❤❤
Omg this cake is the Bombay I have made 2 more since Thanksgiving for my grandkids to take one back home with them and one for my house it's very moist delicious 💕💕💕💕👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Just made one, I put it into Bundt pan. I substitued my oil with melted butter, the milk with Buttermilk and the hot water with hot brewed coffee. Yum, yum, No doubt this will be absolutely delicious with my hot brewed Coffee
I had a baking business in Mexico. This was the cake I used. I would suggest a thin crumb coat then finishing the icing when the crumb coat is hardened. 😊🇨🇦
Lady, OMG, you make this cake simply irresistible 😋 the way you use your voice and the words you chose .... I SIMPLY MUST TRY THIS CAKE!!! Thank you for the video
Made it last night . AMAZING!!! Just what I was craving. My mom has kept HERSHEY'S chocolate cocoa powder in the cabinet for years, yet I've never noticed it had a recipes on the back of it, thanks for bringing it to my attention. 😁😁 It was DELISH !! (Honestly, there is so much n the world we fail to see, simply because we don't take the time or the effort to LOOK.)
You brought back so many sweet memories! There were 10 people in my family; and as a teenager, I made this cake for everyone's birthday for years. Loved when the cake was still a little warm and served with cold milk. I think I'll go and cry now ... 💞
I got confused with your cup-measuring system so my cake came out tasteless, then I googled 1¾, 1½ , ¾ in grams and ml's and did it all over again. Yeshhh (as we say in Israel for "yes there it is"), my chocolate cake came out just perfect now and the final result was amazing. Next time I will try with coffee instead of hot water.Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, from Tel Aviv!
you deserve an award from Hershey's for making their chocolate cake so easy to make. you nailed the instructions and made the whole process a cinch! BRAVA TO YOU! ((Hey Hershey, did ya hear that? This gal needs a commercial!))
Love how cheerful you are and how you explain everything well. Use some Wilton cake straps around cake pans, perfect flat topped cakes every time and edges of cake are nice and soft. Adds a couple/few minutes to baking time but makes a big difference! Have made this cake before, it's delicious!
Have always loved this recipe - I think I've found someone who loves chocolate cake as much as I do! Had to laugh at all your comments about how good it is - true love!! 😋
Thank you very much for this recipe, it is by far thee best chocolate cake recipe. Thin batter is nothing to worry about as it bakes like a dream once in the oven x
Made this on Sunday yesterday and could not believe how easy it was to make. Thought it might be too sweet so I only used 1 3/4 cups sugar for the cake. Turned out fantastic. Love this type of cake. No fuss and delicious.
Your narrations makes me happy! Looks so Yummy....going to attempt to make this. (My baking sucks 😅) wish me luck! Well, I made this...everyone enjoyed it...moist, tender and delicious!😅👍🏼
Hi Deronda. Chocolate cake is my favorite. I love the Hershey's cocoa frosting. It's the best in my opinion. I always make a Chocolate cake at least once a month except in the Summer time. Your cake came out chocolately delicious!!!! YUMMY. Big thumbs up Deronda. Have a great weekend sweetie. :)
Bunches of thanks and you're very welcome...Lila!! This HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE CAKE is one of my favorites!! I've been baking/making this cake and frosting since my High School days!! Greetings for a lovely weekend to YOU! ENJOY!! -Deronda :) P.S. Why no CHOCOLATE CAKE during the summer months?
HI DERONDA!! I FOLLOWED YOUR VIDEO, AND I MADE THIS CAKE!! IT TURNED OUT FANTASTIC! I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT BEFORE MAKING THIS CAKE, I HADN'T BAKED A CAKE IN MANY YEARS, THATS PROBABLY HARD FOR SOME TO BELIEVE, BUT ITS TRUE. I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF IN SUCCESSFULLY BAKING ONE. BOY OH BOY, DID THIS TURN OUT DELICIOUS, IT WAS EASY TO MAKE, SO MOIST, SO DELICIOUS, AND IT PASSED THE HUSBAND TASTE- BUD TEST!! THANK YOU SWEETIE FOR A GREAT VIDEO!
This is the absolute most amazing cake, aside from Costco Chocolate Cakes of course! When I make it I use a 9x13 baking pan and pour the frosting on as soon as I take it (the frosting) off of the heat! It's a lot of frosting! You may gain 20 pounds with one bite, but it's ok. Worth it!
This is the best Chocolate Cake I have tried, it's even better the next day, Thanks for sharing this recipe, I had no idea its was right on the back of the Hershey's Cocoa can
I've made this a couple of times already and it is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. The batter is very thin which may be why the cake is so moist & DELICIOUS! I tend to like chocolate cake with buttercream icing but I may have to try the chocolate icing too. YUM!
Hi there love this however I did something wrong Cz my icing was hard to spread and much darker then yours haha I cannot figure what I did and I did put a few more drops milk? But it was SO dark lol
I had to watch this !!!!! I have the Hershey cookbook I'm talking about the huge one and it has THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE in there so I know your cake is very delicious
I have trouble with cake batter I never get it right so I thought I'd would try yours and omg it's so good not to sweet and so moist so thank you 💖 your recipe is truly the best
I have scored points with this chocolate cake, i made it for the old lady i look after, but for the icing i used condensed milk, butter and cocoa,mixed all together and iced the cake. Thank you so much for sharing. Xxx
Made this cake for New Year and this is the best chocolate moist cake so far. Did not use Hershey's but used Bendorps as alternative. So yummy! I also used hot coffee instead of boiling water only, and yeah, really made the cake tastier. Edit: I also have left over chocolate Frosting using the above recipe, it is so yummy! Just like a melted chocolate. Can be used as spread.
I just made this and OMG!!! It’s so decadent and moist! I didn’t have enough vanilla extract for icing so I used Coconut extract, it came out amazing! I will never use vanilla for the icing. Please make this cake if u haven’t!
I made this and frosted it with Simply Mama Cooks Marshmallow Frosting. I realized while eating it had I of pulsed Oreos in my food processor, I could of added a layer of pulsed cookies in the center and used the remainder to garnish. Cookies and cream, 😋 Yum
My entire family has always made the Hershey's cake and icing right off the side of the can because it is a family favorite. One day I melted my butter and I dumped in the cocoa powder and then the pure vanilla extract. I added in 2 tablespooons of the butter. It not only got melted but I turned up the heat from number 1 (low) to number 3 (medium). I stirred it as the temperature rose and it almost started to bubble. Once it started to bubble, I removed it from the heat I removed it from the heat and put it into a mixing bowl. I added the rest of the milk which helped cool it down and I whipped it more. Then I added the powdered sugar. Why? Now it became a cooked Fudge icing with very little effort. I Iced the cake and every single person that came to Thanksgiving dinner said "What did you do to this cake?" I said I cooked part of the coca and sugar so it got heat to become fudge tasting for a bit. Now THAT is our family favorite.
Thank you for sharing the recipe for this delicious cake. I have made this cake at least 10 times but every time I make this cake I always go to your video first❤
The only chocolate cake I make. When I took the recipe off the cocoa can it was called Hershey's Deep Dark Chocolate Cake. That was many years ago. The BEST cake!!
Congratulations...Norma!! Bunches of thanks & you're very welcome!! May you & your bundle of joy ENJOY eating HERSHEY'S "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE CAKE", today!! -Deronda :)
I just made this tonight, but instead of putting it in round cake tins I put it in a rectangular one :) super super delicious and very simple to make :) thank you so much for sharing this recipe!❤
AWESOME & you're very welcome...Cheyenne!! TY for sharing your rectangular super super delicious CHOCOLATE CAKE results with us!! Forever ENJOY your way, always!! -Deronda :)
Wow...this is the perfect Matilda cake..I made one single layer with the same amount of ingredients..it took a much longer time to bake and I had to up the temperature iof the oven... It came out so yummy.. one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had😋 thanks a ton for this beautiful recipe 🥰
I started making this 12 yrs ago for my daughters birthday. She turns 22 tomorrow and I am baking it now. My tip is to use 1 cup black coffee instead of water. It makes it even better😊
I made this tonight for my son's birthday & it was amazing! I substituted the milk with buttermilk & subbed the hot water with hot coffee. You don't taste the coffee, it just deepens the chocolate flavor. It was so moist & rich!
Oh wow that sounds awesome! Next time I make this, I'm gonna use coffee. Thanx for the tip! :)
Stacie Johnson that's how I make it....buttermilk & hot coffee instead of milk & boiling water.
It is divine.
Stacie Johnson i like coffe
how much instant coffee do u need in this recipe?
thanks
If you boil the coffee, did it not get bitter?
I just made this cake tonight for the very first time and it is magnificent! I just had to know if people were aware that this is the best chocolate cake recipe ever, right there on the back of the container in plain sight all these years. I was missing out!
Thank you so much for your honesty about giving the proper credits for this recipe. A lot have posted this exact same recipe pretending they came up with it. I don't know why, but this usually bothers me a lot 😅

Foods101withDeronda i made my first one last week. Similar recipe but i added espresso powder to cake & Frosting! Delish!
Lorie Wise
Hi there love this however I did something wrong Cz my icing was hard to spread and much darker then yours haha I cannot figure what I did and I did put a few more drops milk? But it was SO dark lol
Cathy Combs yes same with me it was really dark and thick but it was still amazing 😋
I had to watch this !!!!! I have the Hershey cookbook I'm talking about the huge one and it has THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE in there so I know your cake is very delicious
I have been using this recipe for many years when I tell you the best!!!!
I’d suggest to put Hershey’s melted milk or dark chocolate in your cake batter and frosting to get that rich Hershey flavor
I have trouble with cake batter I never get it right so I thought I'd would try yours and omg it's so good not to sweet and so moist so thank you 💖 your recipe is truly the best

Made this cake for New Year and this is the best chocolate moist cake so far.
Did not use Hershey's but used Bendorps as alternative.
So yummy!
I also used hot coffee instead of boiling water only, and yeah, really made the cake tastier.
Edit: I also have left over chocolate Frosting using the above recipe, it is so yummy! Just like a melted chocolate. Can be used as spread.
I just made this and OMG!!! It’s so decadent and moist! I didn’t have enough vanilla extract for icing so I used Coconut extract, it came out amazing! I will never use vanilla for the icing. Please make this cake if u haven’t!
I made this and frosted it with Simply Mama Cooks Marshmallow Frosting. I realized while eating it had I of pulsed Oreos in my food processor, I could of added a layer of pulsed cookies in the center and used the remainder to garnish. Cookies and cream, 😋 Yum

My entire family has always made the Hershey's cake and icing right off the side of the can because it is a family favorite. One day I melted my butter and I dumped in the cocoa powder and then the pure vanilla extract. I added in 2 tablespooons of the butter. It not only got melted but I turned up the heat from number 1 (low) to number 3 (medium). I stirred it as the temperature rose and it almost started to bubble. Once it started to bubble, I removed it from the heat I removed it from the heat and put it into a mixing bowl. I added the rest of the milk which helped cool it down and I whipped it more. Then I added the powdered sugar. Why? Now it became a cooked Fudge icing with very little effort. I Iced the cake and every single person that came to Thanksgiving dinner said "What did you do to this cake?" I said I cooked part of the coca and sugar so it got heat to become fudge tasting for a bit. Now THAT is our family favorite.
