And underneath that, use the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate
Cake. Just cut the ingredients in half for a square cake pan. Bake
for 30-35 minutes.

This is a wonderfully moist cake. The best chocolate cake I've ever
had, and it's easy to make.

I hope your wife will come out of the hospital well, and will enjoy
the cake. And treasure you even more.
