Ok so I stole this recipe and this picture from my friend Kira's recipe blog haha but it seriously is THE BEST chocolate cake and frosting I have ever had and I don't even like chocolate that much!
"Never-Fail Chocolate Cake"
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk (You can use 1 cup milk plus 1 T. vinegar)
1 cup boiling water
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup cocoa
Directions:
- Combine ingredients in order mixing well after each addition.
- Pour in cake pan and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes
- Let cake cool for awhile before you frost it.
Frosting
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 T. cocoa
3 T. milk
2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
- In a saucepan bring butter, coca and milk to a boil.
- Add in vanilla and mix.
- Add in powdered sugar.
*This frosting is like fudge and it cools pretty fast so be sure to spread it immediately after mixing it up.
