Makes leftovers

I made this recipe with gluten free flour, used 1/2 cup of melted butter instead of oil, and used a more expensive unsweetened cocoa than Hershey's (because the store was out of Hershey's!). This cake was sooooo moist, rose nicely and doesn't taste gluten free. I used store bought frosting instead of making it from scratch (my daughter's birthday request).
