The Best Chocolate Cake Ever

If you need a recipe for a chocolate cake that can solve a variety of issues, then I have your back! This recipe involves no fancy ingredients and can be in the oven in less than 5 minutes if you go hard!
I’ve also used it to make cupcakes for school parties, an emergency dessert when my Plan A failed miserably, and just to generally keep morale high at home.
As my boys all have allergies, I always make it gluten and dairy free and our non-allergy friends can never tell!!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do.
