Gluten-Free HERSHEY’S “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Cake Recipe

Gluten-Free HERSHEY’S “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Cake Recipe with frosting and sprinkles

I get it- my son has a dietary restriction. It can be stressful to bake for someone who has special dietary needs, but don’t let a little hesitation keep you from making someone’s day! When you take the time to listen and to make everyone feel welcomed and involved in whatever the celebration is then you can more fully experience that special feeling of baking for those you love.
