For an extra moist cake, consider adding ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce to the batter. If you don't have instant hot chocolate mix, you can substitute with ½ cup of cocoa powder and ¼ cup of sugar. Be sure to grease and flour the baking dish well to prevent the cake from sticking. The frosting can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before spreading on the cake.
