This cake is great topped with dark chocolate frosting. If you like mint it's also good with some mint extract poured into the batter for a chocolate mint cake. It's super yummy. I use it a lot when I have to take a dessert somewhere and don't have a cake mix because I usually have these ingredients on hand.
Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups water
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp distilled white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix together sugar, flour, baking soda, cocoa, and salt. Add water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
**** Extra note****
This is not your "develop diabetes by looking at it" cake or "better than you know what cake"
but it's light and fluffy and a great mild chocolate cake.
My trick to a light and fluffy cake every time? Beat the crud out of it. Beat this bugger for twice the normal time and it'll be so fluffy you won't know how to cut it.
