When I’m in the mood for chocolate, I’m in the mood of chocolate.. lots and lots of it. A little piece from a candy bar won’t satisfy my craving. I need a mound of it, something that’s over the top chocolate-y. I was thinking of some of the most decadent chocolate treats to make for myself (chocolate mousse, pudding, flour-less chocolate cake, fudge, brownies, etc), when I just happened to turn my box of Hershey’s cocoa over. What did I find? Hershey’s “perfectly chocolate” chocolate cake with “perfectly chocolate” chocolate frosting. With a name like that, I knew I was sold. I mean, what other dessert has chocolate 4 times in the title?
I have nothing but great memories of Hershey’s. I was lucky enough to go to Hershey’s Chocolate World in Pennsylvania when I was younger with my family and see how chocolate was made. I still have a souvenir from there– a picture of my entire family on the ride that teaches you the entire chocolate making process. I remember being so appalled and in complete awe of the amount of chocolate in the factory, while wanting to take a bite out of everything. I’d definitely recommend a trip there, if you haven’t already, for all the chocolate fiends like me! :]
I followed the recipe exactly as stated, adding a bit more cocoa into both batters. The result? A perfectly chocolate chocolate cake. Moist, sweet, and chocolate-y, without a sense of empowerment from any of the flavors. Everything blended perfectly together. I dusted half the cupcakes with powdered sugar and left the other half as is. The cupcakes were so beautiful that I couldn’t help but post a million pictures of them. Enjoy!
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups AP flour
- 3/4 cup HERSHEY’s cocoa
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour 2 9-inch round baking pans or line muffin cups with bake cups.
2. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on med speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter onto prepared pans.
3. Bake 30-35 minutes if doing 9-inch round pans, 22-25 minutes for cupcakes until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans/cups to wire racks and cool completely.
- 1/2 cup or 1 stick butter
- 2/3 cup HERSHEY’s cocoa
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Melt butter, stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amount additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. Makes about 2 cups of frosting.

Have a great rest of the week. I look forward to seeing entry #101!

I followed you here for the recipe. I’m drooling and wishing it wasn’t after midnight with an alarm set at 7am, though I’d probably cave if I actually had enough cocoa in the house right now. I won’t use the cookie cutters myself but they’d be a great donation to a fund-raising auction that I support (providing emergency funds to financially struggling families). tanama44 (at) aol (dot) com.

I’ve enjoyed your cross-posts from the food_porn community.
Yes, that cake recipe is absolutely the BEST ever, but I think it needs a day for the chocolate flavor to really bloom. When I make it as a cake, I make the layers the day before I plan to frost it.
You should try it with a coconut filling sometime. Mmmmm.
Pop me into the giveaway bin, please. 🙂 psiam at pillowkits dot com
I too am a cross-over reader from food_porn on LJ – and have definitely bookmarked a few sweet treats to make on a rainy day. I made the chocolate-covered cherry cookies (day 12 of the 12 days of cookies) last week for a co-workers birthday and they were a hit and a half! Thanks for the excellent blog!

dude! I totally understand the chocolate craving thing. And when you’re in the mood for chocolate, your hormones won’t let you have anything else! They look awesome. 🙂

I’ll definitely be trying those myself soon 🙂 Did you know I was so happy to find an old, dusty Kitchenaid standmixer in our pantry that my family hasn’t use for years?? The poor thing! But it’ll be getting tons of use from me now with all these amazing recipes to try out!
I was also wondering, what kind of decorating tip did you use for the frosting? I’ve been wanting to get a decorating set so I have something else to do other than spread frosting on my cupcakes, but I wasn’t quite sure what tip would get that effect, which is what I wanted! 😛 Sorry for being so verbose XD

Congrats on your 100th post. I was just thinking today what to do when I get there – it’s coming up fast. You’ve given me great things to think about.
And what a yummy, yummy cupcake! We make that visit to Hershey at least once a year. Usually just to ride the cocoa bean through the tour. My kids LOVE it!!
