I am taking a 7 week gourmet cooking class at a local vocational school. My undergrad is in vocational Home Ec. (I was a Home Ec. Teacher) and cooking is "my thing". A friend asked me to take the class with her for fun. We are having a blast. Here is one of the recipes from the last class. It turned out awesome!
You'll want to double this if you want to cook it in a 9x13 pan or make round layers...
Easy Chocolate Cake
3 Cups Cake Flour
2 Cups sugar
6 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Water
2/3 Cups Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons Distilled Vinegar
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract.
Icing
1 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 Cans Sweetened Condensed Milk (Like Eagle Brand)
4 Tablespoons Butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour one 8x8 square cake pan.
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Make a well in the center and add water, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until a toothpick (or wooden skewer) comes out clean. Cake should be dense and moist.
Prepare Frosting: Combine cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in the top half of a double boiler and cook until thick. Spread warm mixture over the top of a slightly cooled cake.
Enjoy! Try it with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream....
I am also going to try this by substituting the 2/3 cup of vegetable oil with a cup of apple sauce and see how that works out.
Don't forget, for a normal "cake pan" sized pan (9x13) you need to double the recipe!
Pure Heaven!!!
