CHOCOLATE DREAM CAKE aka BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER image

My Mom's Stand-By... "Chocolate Dream Cake" AKA "BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER" I thought this recipe was a lost forever...but my sister found in some of Mom's things and passed it along to me. It was so worn and torn that I couldn't read it all. I found a recipe today on Recipes.com that seems to be the same from what I can see....
