Chocolate Sour Cream Cake

About this time of year I want a chocolate cake from scratch. I usually want a Coca-Cola Cake; however a chain restaurant in our area has them on special right now, luckily for me. Yesterday when I had a piece it did not totally satisfy my taste for chocolate cake. I would make my own Coca-Cola Cake, but I don't feel like spending $20 on ingredients this week with all the other desserts I have lined up. When people find out that you bake, they start putting in their orders around holidays. So, I decided to make a less expensive, moist, cake like this one today. It is from Hershey's (direct link to cake).
A few things to note: This cake is easy, just measure and dump. The frosting is the hardest part of this recipe. Making the chocolate mixture takes a little over 20 minutes of constant stirring. You will know that you are finished stirring and ready to pour it into the bowl when the mixture all of a sudden comes to life. Frost and you are finished. Proud of yourself that you made a cake from scratch.
