Mom's Chocolate Decadent Cake

So today I tried out this recipe for Mom's Chocolate Decadent Cake and it turned out really well! I found it on JustAPinch Recipe Club and I'm glad I did. My one complaint is that, while the recipe tells you to cook the cake in a 9x13 pan, mine came out uncooked in the center. So be sure to make adjustments if you're planning on trying this cake out. Which would be a smart idea! Here's the recipe:
