Wicked Wanda’s Chocolate Cake

Wicked Wanda’s Chocolate Cake
This cake recipe was given to me by my mother. It was named after a woman she worked with who was always a grump, so the rig guys ( she was a camp cook) affectionately named her wicked Wanda Apparently, this cake is the best chocolate cake to be had. I haven’t had an opportunity to make it yet (like i said, i am on a diet!) but my mom swears by it. I tell you, as soon as i am off my diet… i am making this cake!
