How to Make Hershey's Syrup Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the Hershey's chocolate syrup until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake!
  8. While the cake is still warm, prepare the icing: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the margarine, milk, and powdered sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  10. Pour the icing over the warm cake and spread evenly. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
