best chocolate cake ever, according to caleb

Perfect Chocolate Cake, as long as you don't over flow it and burn it

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup room temp. butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
Mix it all up, in the order it says above. Put it in some greased and floured pans (9 inch rounds, preferably). Then bake at 350 for like half an hour, maybe (set a timer, or else you'll forget it). Remove from over, when its done. Cool it. Remove from the pans and cool further, if you have the patience. Frost it with plenty of delicious frosting.


Oh wait, here's a delicious frosting recipe!

1/2 cup beyond room temp. butter
2/3 cup cocoa or more
3 cups powdered sugar or more
1/3 cup milk
a bit of lime juice (I don't know how much, just follow your heart)

The most important ingredient is love. Serve it with plenty of lovely people to eat it and it will always taste better.

  1. I made this cake again. When baking in a casserole dish (13x9?) bake for closer to 35 minutes, a half an hour just doesn't cut it.
    I also made cupcakes! Bake for 20 minutes, a half an hour would be a bit much for those pastelitas.
