You left out the tsp. cinnamon in the cake mix. That’s the main reason I love this cake because the cinnamon takes away the heavy chocolate flavor.
This is the very best cake and I have served it over and over through the years

My recipe didn’t come with cinnamon, but that sounds like a great addition to the recipe though! Thank you for sharing!
