Processor Chocolate Cake

Description:
Chocolate cake recipe is only as good as the last person who baked it. Have you ever tasted a dud and then wanted the recipe? If you asked for it, it was probably out of politeness. It's unlikely you baked it to see if you could do a better job.

But a well-cooked chocolate cake is one of those recipes people always request, either continuing a chain of sharing, or creating a new one.
