How To Make chocolate cake

  • 1
    Mix cake well and pour into a well greased 13 x 9 baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. When cake has baked for 30 minutes, start ingredients for the sauce. Use a large sauce pan and start adding the ingredients. Boil for 15 minutes. When cake is done poke holes into cake with a fork and then pour the sauce over the cake while it is still warm. If you like, you can double the sauce ingredients. My family loves the sauce so I do double them. Enjoy!!!
