The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake is here. I call this my Matilda Cake because I swear it's just as good as the cake that Bruce Bogtrotter ate in Matilda. Moist, chocolaty perfection. This is the chocolate cake you've been dreaming of!

11 · You can ignore the ingredients listed on the cake mix instructions; eggs, Greek yogurt, instant pudding mix, and water are all you need to make this confection. However, if you want an outrageously moist cake, you can whip in 3/4 cup vegetable oil as you beat in the other ingredients.
