One Bowl Chocolate Cake Recipe

This recipe is my go-to, one bowl chocolate cake recipe which NEVER fails!  Josiah had a couple of mates around to help him celebrate turning three last friday, it was a lovely morning.

I also used the same cake, slightly revamped the following day with some more visitors, you can do that with good friends, slap a bit more icing on, make a three out of m&m's - done!  It was just as delicious the next day :-)
