List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup boiling water
2 squares baking chocolate

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Stir chocolate into boiling water to melt. Set aside to cool.

In small bowl combine the flour, soda and salt. Set aside. In large bowl combine sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed of electric mixer about 2 minutes. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk in 2 additions, mixing well and scraping down bowl. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture until well blended.

Pour into the prepared pan, tap lightly to remove air bubbles, and bake for 35-45 minutes or until cake tests done.

Cool completely before icing.
