The Best Chocolate Cake

the best chocolate cake
this chocolate cake is extremely moist and delicious.  the red beets give it the moisture and a denseness like no other cake.  my husband is my biggest food critic and he loves this cake.  recently, he mentioned that he isn’t much into cakes, so for him to like this cake says a lot. this recipe is always the standard birthday cake that is requested in my family.  my son just celebrated his 13th birthday, so these are the last two pieces left.  i had to make sure no one ate these slices!  now that the photo is taken, i’m sure they will be gone before dinner!  thanks for visiting…
