“Evon’s Chocolate Cake” – You make it with boiling water – Crazy Huh?

Website design By BotEap.comSomeone gave me this recipe about twenty years ago. I copied it in her kitchen on a little recipe card. My friend had served it to me and I was like, “I MUST have this recipe!” Do you know how that is? Give it a try and think to yourself, I have to have this at least once a week.

Both my sister and I are prone to eating chocolate cake in the morning. What am I saying? We are prone to eating chocolate day and night! We are true connoisseurs of chocolate. Yes, expert judges in matters of taste. Big smile.
