looked through my scrapbook! decided to type out this recipe i had in there, i forgot where it originated from. this is probably the most simplest recipe i have.
ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water (for the end)
directions:
preheat oven to 350°F.
mix 2 cups white sugar, 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt in mixing bowl.
add in 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 tsp vanilla extract into dry mixture.
stir in 1 cup boiling water, the batter WILL be thin. trust the process.
pour into cake pans of choosing, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
enjoy :)
one of my favorite things to do with this recipe is make two layers, the middle being a thin but generous layer of hershey's chocolate frosting. put it in the fridge for a couple of hours and it's soooo delicious. feel free to try that <3
