Homemade Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is to die for! I recently made cupcakes with this recipe and frosted them with the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting that you can find on this blog. My mom brought them to work and someone said “This is damn near the best cupcake I ever had.” If that doesn't convince you I don't know what will. For your next birthday celebration, or any special occasion you should make this chocolate cake!

1 ¾ cup flour
2 cups sugar
¾ cup cocoa
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients except for water. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add boiling water and beat. Pour into a greased/floured 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes.**If making cupcakes, only fill half full (seriously, no more than half!) and bake for about 12-14 minutes.



I suggest adding some kind of sprinkle to bring in some color to all of the chocolate!
