Mom's Chocolate Drizzle Cake

This cake has become synonymous with birthday celebrations in the Cole Family. It can be made a variety of different ways--completely with butter cream frosting or with a combination of butter cream and whipped cream. Either way you decide to create it, leftovers cannot be guaranteed.
