Midnight Chocolate Cake

Why I Love This Recipe
This cake is incredibly moist and very versatile, you can bake it as sheet cake (9x13) or as cupcakes, or a bundt cake or as layers.
Note: I sometimes substitute 1/4 sour cream for part of the milk. It makes the cake even more moist!

2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
