    "This chocolate cake recipe is the ONLY recipe I will ever use again. It is truly moist and stays that way for days, even in the refrigerator! I have had multiple people who are not chocolate cake fans tell me that they love this cake! I use this recipe for cupcakes with the same excellent results! Thank you for this!"
