Growing up in Philadelphia, my family often visited the Hershey Factory in near-by Hershey, PA. What an amazing Family outing. It truly was a Willy Wonka experience. At the end of the factory tour, each child was given a Hershey Bar! I'm not talking mini, either, these were the 'regular' sized bars. Since I was used to buying penny candy (remember that?), this was a huge treat. Visiting the Hershey factory was an experience I'll never forget, and even though I might now opt for more refined single origin organic dark chocolate, I'll never turn down a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar.
So here's another Classic Chocolate Cake recipe. You'll find this in many of the older Hershey Cookbooks. And, yes, you can make it with high end dark chocolate and syrup, but try it first with Hershey chocolate bars and Hershey's syrup. This easy to make cake will satisfy any chocoholic!
HERSHEY BAR CHOCOLATE CAKE
Ingredients2-1/2 cups flour
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sweet butter, softened
2/3 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup

6 Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars, melted and cooled

Heat oven to 350. Butter either a 12 cup Bundt Pan or 10" tube pan.
In medium bowl, whisk together
flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

melted chocolate and mix completely. Blend in buttermilk. Gradually add
flour mixture until well combined.
Pour into prepared pans.

Cover with foil immediately to steam and make cake moister.
Keep covered until cake is completely cool.

This sounds deliciously deadly! I love chocolate, and Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar is my very favorite chocolate. Their regular cocoa is unbeatable, too. I agree with their ad that it's "the Great American Chocolate Bar." But I still miss the old 2-piece wrapper.
