  8. I baked it yesterday!
    But I baked it in a different way because I forgot to read the instructions!😅

    Used chocolate chunks and cocoa powder and added the hot water to boost the chocolate flavor.
    Then added sugar and oil and then eggs and dry ingredients.

    It came out to be so moist and delicious!!
    I tried making the frosting but I messed it, so paired it up with some thick chocolate ganache!
    It was heavenly
    Thank you so much for sharing this Gail!❤❤
