Notes

This recipe is based on the "Perfectly Chocolate Cake" recipe printed on the Hershey's Cocoa tin and the "Everyday Birthday Cake" recipe from the Ninja Speedi manual and cookbook.  For a lighter cake substitute egg whites for the egg, whip them to soft peaks, and gently fold them into the batter at the very end of making the batter.
