    List of Ingredients




    ***FOR THE CAKE***
    3 large eggs -- separated
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1 1/2 cups cake flour
    3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    3/8 cup unsweetened cocoa
    3/8 cup vegetable oil
    1 cup milk
    ***FOR THE FROSTING***
    1 1/2 cups water
    1 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup butter
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
    3/8 cup cornstarch
    1/2 cup water

    Recipe



    For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350* F. Line 2 - 8" round pans with parchment or
    waxed paper. Beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of sugar.
    Beat egg whites until stiff. Sift dry ingredients together. Make a well in the
    flour mixture; add vegetable oil and half of the milk. Beat until well blended,
    medium speed. Add remaining milk and egg yolks. Beat until smooth. Fold in the
    egg whites. Pour into prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool and slice
    each layer in half, horizontally, to make 4 layers. Frost with Dobash frosting.

    For the Frosting: Combine first four ingredients and bring to a boil. Sift the
    cocoa and cornstarch together to get the lumps out and combine with the
    remaining 1/2 cup water. Add to the boiling mixture. Bring to a boil again,
    cool slightly, and then frost. (Don't let it get too cool, or it will 'set' in
    the pot!) This is a nice frosting, it's very smooth, and once it sets, you
    can't even ding it up and make it ugly!
