This is the one I've used a lot, it is in a cookbook titled Hershey's Fabulous Desserts

HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE

3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 2/3 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsps. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/3 cups milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two (9-inch) round pans or one (9x13x2-inch) pan.

In large mixer bowl cream butter, gradually add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla. Beat at medium speed 5 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients and beating just enough to blend. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
