HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE SYRUP CAKE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt; mixing until just combined. Pour in the Hershey's chocolate syrup and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Pour batter into a 13x9" baking pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, begin preparing the icing.
• Place the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Once the mixture reaches a full rolling boil, cook it for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
