    Recipe Introduction

    This is the greatest chocolate cake recipe! It's best after sitting a few hours or overnight. It gets dense and moist and chocolately. The frosting is a bit sweet right away but that too gets better the next day and compliments the cake perfectly. I keep the recipe on my computer because I have to print it out for who ever tries it. It's much better than any bakery cake! Not only does it taste fantastic, but I always have the ingredients on hand and it's easy as well!

    List of Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups water
    2 cups sugar
    3/4 cup butter
    2 eggs, slightly beaten
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    2 cups flour
    1/2 cups cocoa
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Recipe


    Cream butter in a bowl.

    Bring water to a boil, add to butter and stir till melted. Add sugar, stir till dissolved. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.

    Combine dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture, mix well. Batter will be VERY thin-that's ok.

    Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 pan.

    Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

    Frosting

    1/4 cup butter
    2 cups confectioners sugar
    2 tablespoons cocoa
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    2-3 tablespoons milk

    Cream butter, mix with other ingredients, frost cake.
