For as long as I can remember my mom decorated cakes. She used box cake mixes to make her cakes. She said that homemade cakes were to dense and heavy to work well. I didn't even try making cake from scratch til I was in my mid twenties. The first attempt was a complete failure. Years later was the next time I even tried it again. This recipe is so moist and fluffy!
This is the cake I made for Derek his first birthday we were together. He loves chocolate cake. The batter is runnier than most cake batters. Trust me it was work out.

Mix ingredients in a large bowl. I use my kitchen aid to whisk up the batter.
Grease 9" x 13" baking pan or 2 9" cake pan.

Bake 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Add favorite icing.
